PROMPT:
Imagine, that the local School Board is considering whether or not to provide funding for a comprehensive arts education program for elementary and middle schools in their district. They are also seeking advice about what a high quality arts education program would look like. The board is seeking public opinion about this project.
Your task is to research the topic “Why Study the Arts?” You then need to write a persuasive essay in the form of a letter to the school board that argues why the board should adopt a sequential arts education program for all students in the district. You can take on the role of a parent, a teacher, or a concerned citizen. This first draft is meant to be only about 500 words.  The final draft (1200 words) of your letter to the school board will be submitted as part of Module 3.
Support your views with specific reasons and examples from your own experience, observations, or readings.
The first part has already been done I just need you to add more of this in paraenthesis:
(You should provide more expert evidence in your letter regarding art integration in school. You do provide good reasons as to why you believe there should be art education in schools just needs evidence to back it up.)
And then add a works cited page at the end.
