I want to talk to my kids about designing their own persuasive writing
prompts in which to practice for state and local testing.

I plan on brainstorming with them and I will report back to you folks.
However, I am trying to give them an example using "popularity" as the
basis for discussion.

Why is popularity so important to middle schoolers? ( which doesn't
seem to lend it self to being a persuasive prompt) Perhaps, " Do you
believe popularity is important to middle schoolers?"  What do you
think? Any suggestions?
