Write an argumentative essay for your school newspaper either in favor of keeping the time change as it
is (moving ahead one hour in the spring and falling back one hour in the fall) or stopping the time
change (stay on one time the whole year). your essay must be based on ideas and information that can
be found in the passage set.
manage your time carefully so that you can
• read the passages,
• plan your response,
• write your response; and
revise and edit your response.
be sure to
include a claim;
address counterclaims;
• use evidence from multiple sources; and
• avoid overly relying on one source.
