Question

This journal entry will be completed in two parts. In this lesson, you will examine how different sentence types can add variety and interest to writing. Part of your learning will involve revising your own writing to improve sentence variety.

Now, before continuing with the lesson, you will complete the first half of your entry. Write a short, four- to five-sentence paragraph about a topic of your choosing.

Then, after you have completed this lesson, come back to the paragraph you wrote. Analyze your writing to identify areas where you could revise using different sentence types to add interest to your work. Revise the paragraph using the techniques you have learned. Your completed journal entry should have both your original and your revised paragraph.

Answer 1

I think that 16 year-olds should get the right to vote. Not just from having no voice at all to voting for mayor, I want them to be able to vote for President too! This is for many reasons. The first of many, they are very eager to vote and this will increase the ammount of people that vote. Second, they would feel included and this would help prepare them to be more independent. Last but not least, they work, drive, and pay taxes too! The laws created by the government they vote for, WILL affect them and their lives. This is why it is extremely critical to lower the voting age to 16-17 years-old.

hope it helped!
