PLT4M Essay Contest

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]

THE PROBLEM:

A new company, ‘Sedentary Industries LLC’, is setting up their new headquarters in your town.  They do not like any type of physical activity or fitness.  Even worse they want to CANCEL physical education for high school students.

THE TASK:

In less than 750 words, you have to convince ‘Sedentary Industries’ that physical education is important to you. Why does physical activity and fitness matter to you? You can use any style of writing that you believe will change their minds about Physical Education and Fitness! Do you have a personal experience that you think would convince them that PE is important? Or do you think research and data would help persuade them? It is entirely up to you on how you approach your argument.
