What is a good high school essay topic?

Is "Should we boycott and/or shutdown KFC?" a good topic for a persuasive essay? (Middle School)?

  • I am very interested in this topic and i think i will be able to find enough information on it..(Internet, magazine,newspaper,encyclopedia.) If not, what are some other related topics i could do? Thanks!

  • Answer:

    No. Because it does not tell me why. Why do you want to persuade your audience to boycott? Because it's bad food, fattening, cruelty to animals, old men with a foghorn leghorn look scare you .....? "Should we boycott and/or shutdown KFC, because of the unethical and inhumane treatment of Chickens?" or "Should we boycott and/or shutdown KFC, because of the impact it is having upon America's health?" You have to get you audiences' attention with the headline. Don't bore them and leave them wondering what you are going to discuss.

Any topic that is controversial can be a good topic. You need a topic that is likely to have two very clear and opposing sides. You also want to be able to present a "winnable" argument. Topics that cause an emotional reaction are also good. I think you have met all those requirements with this topic.

How about writing about the trans fat ban in NYC instead? Maybe something like ... Should we expand the NYC trans fat ban to the entire USA? Why just pick on kfc?

I think the topics that you would have talk about and to prove to your audience is a little to grown up for a middle schooler. There is alot of graphic detail that goes into this topic that you really shouldn't be exposed to at such a young age! I do not stand with PETA on this protest btw... I'm not sure what you should pick on your essay, but you should pick something less graphic and more directed to your age. Like, lowering the voting age, the lack of sweets in teh cafe', kids getting fat because they are glued to their Wii's, jobs, ect..
