Essay about preschool education

Because good writing is always a process, our persuasive essay will be written in two parts: a first draft due this week and a final draft due in week 6. Your paper should be 3-4 pages in length.

As you prepare, here are a few reminders for this week's draft:

In week 3 you posted a thesis for peer review. Use the revised thesis, based on your classmates' and teacher's feedback as the basis for your persuasive paper.

Use your sources to support your thesis. Research and prepare the passages you will consider using. Remember to review methods of paraphrasing, summarizing, and using direct quotations.

Prepare the body paragraphs by deciding where to place supporting information. Remember, each paragraph of the paper should act to build the momentum of the argument.

Apply pathos, logos, and ethos whenever possible.

Finally, remember that it's okay if your ideas, opinions, or sources change during process of writing this paper. Writing makes us think, and it's fine - even beneficial - to have our thoughts change as we express them on paper.

Universal pre-k exists in Oklahoma, Florida, and, New York. The United States ranks 26th in the world for the 4-year-olds enrolled in early education programs, which is far behind other countries when it comes to preschool participation. In some other countries, almost all four-year-olds are in rolled in some preschool program. Nearly all states have some funding for preschool but for low income families. In 2012-2013 28 percent of the four-year-olds were enrolled in a low-income preschool program. Some small-scale studies show that children that attend preschool are less likely to drop out of high school, get arrested, repeat grades, and require special education services, making them think that government-sponsored preschool is well worth the investment. Preschool needs to be available to all children not just low income families or the disadvantages kids.
