Editorial

1. What is a problem/issue that our entire student body (our school, community, country, etc.) faces today?

The problem that our school faces is the top gate being closed to students so there is a major overflow in traffic in the morning and after school

2. What is your view/position on the problem or situation?

I think the gate should be open to decrease traffic flow in the morning. If this happens it will be safer for students to drive to school in the morning and also wont need to leave a half hour early

3. What would you like to achieve with your editorial? (What is the desired result?)

To arouse the problem to higher athorities and have the gate go up like it has for the last 12 years

4. How will you persuade your audience to adopt your viewpoint as theirs? List at least 4 persuasive points.

- Safter driving
- Wont have to leave earlier to get to school
- Less time to leave school
- Get to class on time

5. How will you motivate your readership to action in your conclusion?

By showing them how much this has changed for students and how it has become dangerous to drive in the morning. And also how just because we have a new security guard doesnt mean things were bad before.

6. How will your editorial serve a public purpose?

It will show that there needs to be a change in opening the gate. Everything has been the same for twelve years so why should it change.
