Writing Activity 5

Many administrators and teachers feel that these restrictions enable them to provide a safe learning environment for students. Others feel that any restriction on the student newspaper is a violation of freedom of speech. In your opinion, should high schools place restrictions on student newspapers?

In your essay, take a position on this question. You may write about either one of the two points of view given, or you may present a different point of view on this question. Use specific reasons and examples to support your position.

You should have an introductory paragraph and 2 body paragraphs already written down that either support or oppose this topic. This week, write a concluding paragraph for this essay. You should write this paragraph on the same sheet of paper as your introductory paragraph and body paragraphs from the last 3 weeks, NOT on your notes.
