A student wrote the following letter to his school board to persuade the members not to cut funding for his
swim team. Use the drop-down menus to maintain a consistent tone and style that is appropriate to the
audience, product, and purpose of the letter.
"To the members of the school board:
I understand that you need to make budget cuts for next year, but you
cut funding
from the swim team. Four
made it to the state championships this year, and I am sure
you remember that Stacy won first place in diving! Publicity from attending state meets is good for
our school and motivates alumni
to the booster club. In addition, the swim
team provides
exercise to an increasingly inactive student body. Without the swim
team, we would all be stuck at home playing video games!
