The document provides instructions for completing a persuasive essay based on three sources: an article, a table or graphic, and an audio recording. It outlines a 55 minute time frame to read the print sources, listen to the audio source twice, and plan and write the essay. For the audio source, students are instructed to take notes, focusing on generalities for the first listen and details for the second. Students are given options to write a 4 or 5 paragraph essay incorporating evidence from all three sources to support a thesis statement. The document stresses pacing oneself and being prepared with notes and an outline.
