  1. Conclusions Wrapping it up!

  2. Writing Prompt Writing Situation The school system is considering changing the dress code policy to uniforms only. Uniforms would consist of blue or tan pants and a white or light blue shirt. White sneakers or loafers would be the only footwear for students. The school board is holding a public meeting to discuss this possible change. Writing Directions Write a speech for the public meeting being held by the school board. In your speech be sure to defend your position and clearly support your argument.

  3. Types of Conclusions:An Ending that Provides Closure • Compelling Statement • Summary of Key Points without Repetition • Reminder of Personal Connections the Reader Has to the Topic • Questions for the Reader to Think About E. New but Related Issues for the Reader to Think About

  4. Compelling Statement “Uniforms unify dress, not students and not individual lives.” “Uniformity does not solve problems; instead it stunts innovation, creativity, and individuality.”

  5. Summary of key Points without repetition “Uniforms afford numerous benefits that directly and indirectly improve performance in school. The common arguments against them are generally untrue or exaggerations. Uniforms do not do anything to stop hearts from vibrating to their own iron strings. They actually help amplify the vibrations.”

  6. Reminder of Personal Connections “I know you have teenage children in public school. Please talk to them about uniforms before you make up your mind. Maybe they can help you understand my feelings and the feelings of all the students in this school. Maybe you can remember what it feels like to be a teenager and every time you turn around, someone is trying to take away your freedom to be yourself. I know if you give the issue a little more consideration that you will be able to make the best decision for our school.”

  7. Questions for the Reader to Think About “Would you want to wear the same outfit as every other woman teacher or administrator in our school every day? Would you never tire of looking just the same as everyone else? Wouldn’t it make you feel like a robot instead of a human being with personal needs and preferences?”

  8. New but Related Issues for the reader to think about “Uniforms are only the beginning. If this rule is passed at our school, there is no telling where it will end. Will they tell us how we have to style our hair too? Will they tell us what brand of makeup to use? What kind of toothpaste?”
