1. Write a letter to the Connecticut State Department of Education promoting the continuation of this grant persuading the CSDE to continue funding.*

Many students from Hartford, Suffield, East Lyme, Bridgeport, Newington, Danbury, and Essex have participated in the Pathways to Freedom and Friendship program this year. The Connecticut State Department of Education (CSDE) Grant Committee needs to decide if they should allow funding for this program for the next school year. If the State decides not to pay, the towns cannot afford to support the program and the program will not run. Decide whether you agree or disagree with the State’s decision to fund or not fund the program. Give your opinion in a persuasive essay to convince the Grant Committee to agree with your point of view.

When you write, be sure to do the following:

1. State your opinion 2. Give reasons that will convince the State Grant Committee to agree with your point of view. 3. Organize your ideas well and present them clearly. (*adapted from Thames River Connections Grant, Norwich, CT)
