Civics: Should Teens Be Tried As Adults?

In the article we read in class, the author has a definite opinion about teens being tried as adults.  You are to write an argumentative essay stating what you believe.  You can use arguments the author uses and state your own.  Make sure to include the following:

• Clearly state your opinion on the topic question.  DO NOT start your essay with "Yes, I do" or "No, I don't".  Be specific.
• State at least four reasons to support your opinion.  You can only use two reasons from the article.
• Give at least two REBUTTAL reasons and state why you believe these are wrong.
• Make sure to end your essay with a conclusion sentence.

This is due Wednesday, November 13, 2013.  It MUST be typed, size 12, Times New Roman, double-spaced.  This is worth a TEST grade.
