Option #1: Using the articles you read as inspiration, write an informative essay about a true crime. Feel free to be creative about your research question and have fun with it. You do not have to choose one of the stories provided as a resource unless you want to.
Option #2: Writing an argument essay is available as well. Here are some suggested topics to argue:
Are serial killers born with certain tendencies or are they created from life experience?
Because serial killers are repeat offenders, should they have the opportunity for rehabilitation, or should they be considered "past the point of no return?"
Argument outlines are in the studio warehouse >> English >> Individual Competencies.
Option #3: One-Pager
You can write a "One-Pager" instead of a formal paper. This task does need to meet all of the competencies listed in the ELA 2s.
Below are some examples of One-pagers.
If you have another idea, discuss it with your mentor or ELA Specialist.
Look at the examples below....
