Assignment: Write a persuasive essay about the media's influence on society.
Student response: An "essay" about a proposed casino. A snippet:
"At first when i saw the commercial from the pro-casino side, I was all for the casino thinking 2,700 jobs would be fantastic for the area,absolutely."
Then, later:
"Instead of the casino you would be better off to put a bunch of money in a pot with your friends and pull a name out and whoever's name gets pulled out they win, at least then someone outside of your friends wouldn't get a large cut of the pot."
