: a 3 paragraph informing/educating the reader on a topic you know a lot about. (you are not researching information—it is information you already know from your life experience).

 a 3 paragraph essay comparing two things: book and movie of the same story, two teachers, two subjects in school, your parents etc. The rubric has a persuasive criteria, but DO NOT make it persuasive.
