Synthesis Essay
Draft 1
Hook: Is community service REALLY
helpful for students? Especially when forced?
Address problem:
Currently education systems are torn as to whether or not a certain number of
community service hours should be required to graduate high school.
Thesis: Although
community service is useful not only on applications, but also in real world
experience, it should not be required for graduation, instead community service
should be emphasized through in class learning, and the tools to complete
community service should be readily available to students who wish to
participate.
Order of Development:
We will examine how
the coerceing (not a word) of community service detracts from the experience
that you receive and what should be offered to students.
Refutation
·
Community
service gives a sense of community (source 2)
·
Yes but
it makes it so that kids don’t want to do it when they are older (source 5)
·
To help the argument of community service
requirements many schools point out that it looks good on college applications
for seniors.
·
But it is simply being used and is that what
your really want the children of the future to see community service as a tool
to further their job gain rather than as a source of personal rewardment?
·
(source 6)
Support 1 – community service, when required outside of
school hours, takes up much of the student’s time.

·
A general
school day goes from 8:00 in the morning to 3:00 in the afternoon. And then
sports. By the time you get home you are exhausted and then have homework you
do not have time for community service
·
Support 2 – The majority of young people don’t want required
community service. They believe that they will do it on their own time and
willingly; they do not need to be forced.
·
Source 1 – do it on their own time
·
Source 7- people do not want community service
