Drafting your Op-Ed Article

Using your pre-writing from today's class, print out an objective news article from one of these newspapers that you would like to write an op-ed article on in response:

The New York Times
The BBC World News

Your article should relate to one of the following themes from Persepoliswomen’s rights, fear, power, politics, religion, torture, revolution, capital punishment, human rights, government oppression, globalization, family or education.

Next, write your draft op-ed (length - 1 page, font - New Times Roman, double-spaced) using objective and subjective statements to persuade your reader to share your opinion.  I will collect your drafts at the beginning of next class in preparation for our next Writer's Workshop.
