1. What topic have you chosen for your essay? Why have you chosen this topic?
*Remember – you can use the same topic as your paragraph topic in Unit 1 if it was persuasive.*
Answer:
Public school vs. K12. I have chosen this topic because when I decided to enrolled in home schooling, I was blasted by many peoples opinion regarding my decision. My parents, family, and friends all had advice on whether or not this might be a good choice for me.

2. Who will be your intended audience? (Your audience should be more than just your teacher.)
Answer:
My audience would be anyone thinking about enrolling in home schooling.
(10 points)
3. What will your thesis statement be? Remember that a thesis statement is the main idea of your essay.
Answer:
My thesis statement would be that home schooling a child does not mean that the child will fail socially. That if a student wants to be involved in sports either on a team or as a viewer they are still able to do just that. Being schooled at home is not for every child but I believe for some children it is a good decision.

4. List at least three details you would like to include in your essay. Be specific!
Answer:
Socialization of a child that is home schooled is still a reachable goal, if a child has the ability to be social. A child can join community events or teams. Being involved in extra-curricular activities is still a choice that can be made by the student or the family.
