Barrow Media Center Persuasive Writing Contest Winners

We are excited to announce that 82 students entered our first Barrow Media Center Persuasive Writing Contest. Students wrote essays about whether or not picture books are important for today’s kids. Almost every essay was in support of picture books and students’ creativity really stood out in the essays. After much deliberation, the winners have been chosen, one from each grade level. Here are six of the winning essays. We’ll post more “honorable mention” essays in the coming days.
