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 Persepolis: women’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.
