Assignment:
You just completed a legal history paper on how a historically marginalized and/or oppressed groups access and/or works within systems of education. The legal history paper asked you to present information and provide context. The writing style for that paper should be largely informational. Your last assignment for the semester requires you to apply that knowledge by designing a program, procedure, or policy to improve educational access for your student group (or employee group if that applies).
You have a two-part assignment. First, draft an introduction for your final assignment. You can use some of the information you presented in your legal history paper and change the writing style from informational to persuasive. You are, after all, designing a program, procedure, or policy that improved educational access. You want to draw your reader in and convince them that your design is needed and great. Also, you'll want to carefully select what information might best help you provide the context for your proposed intervention.
At the end of your introduction, please identify strategies you used to specifically make your writing persuasive and why you think they will be persuasive. These can be in form of a bulleted/numbered list or a paragraph. Cite to the reading for the week on the power of persuasion. Reading: Majone, Evidence, Argument, & Persuasion in the Policy Process.
