In four to five sentences, write a plan for your presentation. Explain the steps you will take to make a presentation to convince a school principal to create an activity or group that brings teenagers together.
Plan: I will begin with a quotation about the importance of unity in a community. Then, I will state my claim that an activity will unite our school by creating a shared vision, purpose, and direction. In the body, I will use three main points that describe the different avenues the students can take: through a variety of clubs, through a special event, or through an awareness week. I will provide evidence about other towns that have unity activities and the kinds of events that they include. Pictures will illustrate my three main points in action. For the ending, I will restate the main idea in a new way and pose a question to keep the audience thinking.
