McGraw-Hill Invites Middle and High School Students to Enter Presidential Debate Essay Contest
McGraw-Hill Invites Middle and High School Students to Enter Presidential Debate Essay Contest
McGraw-Hill Education, publisher of McGraw-Hill networks, a social studies learning system, is inviting middle and high school students to submit entries for its "Enter the Debate" contest.
Open to students in grades 6-12, the contest calls for teachers to assign students to write an essay suggesting a potential debate question for President Obama and Governor Romney and have students explain why the question is important to the nation. The program is designed to encourage students to examine the critical social, economic, and political issues surrounding the election.
Student essays must be two hundred fifty words or less and written by individual students. A panel of judges will select six finalists based on the essay's persuasiveness, quality of content, and English usage and mechanics. The winning student essay will receive a $5,000 classroom grant, given to the student's school. The schools of the remaining five finalists will each receive $1,000.
For complete contest guidelines and entry procedures, visit the Enter the Debate Web site.
