A. Attention Getter: How many of you have said that there are too many options? Whether you are talking about choosing a college, class selection once you get to college, or even something as simple as choosing what to eat for dinner tonight.

I. Introduction
a. College is an integral time period for many people – college is a time for freedom, receiving an education, and learning what it means to survive on little to no food for long periods of time. Or at least that's what it's been like for me. Food is arguably one of the most important things to a college student, especially off–campus food. Many of you are probably thinking of that one food that you could eat over and over again and never get tired of it. Of course food is important, though, or else why would we be told to eat three square meals...show more content...
While many relate fasting to starving, this could not be further from the truth.
II. Body
a. The effects of fasting pertaining to physical health
i. In modern societies across the globe, humans typically eat meals three times daily, while continuously snacking throughout the day. Overeating, especially with said eating patterns, has lead to many metabolic morbidities and diseases such as obesity and heart disease when combined with a sedentary lifestyle. Hundreds of years ago, humans and animals alike had adapted to an environment in which food was scarce. This allowed for them to function cognitively and physically at a very high level in a food deprived (or fasted) state.
ii. In their article Health effects of intermittent fasting: hormesis or harm?, Horne, Muhlestein, and Anderson conclude that after many randomized, controlled clinical trials, some physical benefits from fasting are as follows: "The body uses fats for energy during fasting, reducing fat storage and resulting in a small, long–term reduction in risk after each fasting episode. Nutritional stress during fasting, at least in part, results in cellular–level repairs, functional optimization, and metabolic rejuvenation that may improve long–term health by reducing cardiovascular risk factors and acting on the metabolism of glucose via genes." One of the main reasons for these benefits is that during fasting, the

Specific Purpose: To persuade my classmates to make healthier nutritional choices.
Thesis Statement: Healthy eating is not something to worry about down the road; we need to act now, while we are young to develop good habits for the future.
1. Introduction:
a. Attention Getter: I visited Holly Drougas–our very own licensed dietician here at Virginia Western. I asked her, "What is the first thing that comes to mind when I say the word 'Nutrition'?" She shocked me by saying, "Confusion". With so much conflicting and confusing information from both the scientific community and the lay press, many people simply don't know what to eat to be healthy or to lose weight.
b. Focus on Topic: Healthy eating is not about strict dietary limitations, staying unrealistically thin, or depriving yourself...show more content...
Relevance: When it comes down to it, I'm not going to shove kale down your throat if you tell me that you just hate kale, even though it appears to be another one of the big health crazes. I'm just trying to show you all that eating healthy doesn't have to be a miserable experience, and despite our limitations as college students, we can overcome the hurdles of Availability, Time, and Money, to maintain a healthy diet.
e. Preview: So today, we're going to talk about the wonderful world of Nutrition, and I'm going to try to convince you that carrots and celery aren't just rabbit food, but people food too.
2. Problem Step:
a. Internal Preview: So let's start with some reasons as to why so many people are confused about what to eat: misinformation and marketing.
b. Since 1992 the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) has provided the nutritional food pyramid, which has been the standard by which many have ascribed as far as recommended food intake. I'm sure this model looks familiar to most of you.
c. Now, the USDA recommends "MyPlate", which was introduced in 2010, as the new guidelines for proper dietary

Body:
I. The death penalty has no deterrent effect
A. People commit murders largely in the heat of passion, under the influence of alcohol or drugs, or because they are mentally ill, giving little or no thought to the possible consequences of their acts.
1. Claims that each execution deters a certain number of murders have been thoroughly discredited by social science research.
a. According to the economist's voice, the few that do commit pre–meditated murders will be more affected with life in prison.

1. According to the Bureau of Justice Statistics, it now takes on average about 178 months (about 15 years) for an execution occurs.

Persuasive Essay On Procrastination
Have you ever postponed something super important because you wanted to have fun on a Friday night? Convincing yourself "Oh, I'll just get it done tomorrow?" This action of putting off a task until the next day or a later time is called procrastination. Someone displaying procrastination would either be delaying their work for another job that they consider more important or distracting themselves with an activity that is more interesting. Many people believe that only disorganized or lazy people acquire or pick up this intrusive habit, but I disagree with this misconception. Productive people, too, occasionally lack the desire to get things done on time. Take for example myself; I have always struggled with this mannerism and even more...show more content...
The prefrontal cortex is what makes an individual decide to engage in a task. With that in mind, putting work off makes it easier for the limbic system to dominate and give immediate pleasure feelings which the brain prefers. In other words, people begin to manipulate this perception and enjoy the short–term effects because it becomes more satisfying not to complete the task. This habit can start to control how or when we choose to tend to our responsibilities (Spencer). I recognize this feeling on a daily basis. For example, there was a day that I decided I was going to study in the library as I would hopefully be more productive in that setting. However, as soon as I sat down I began to fiddle with everything I could get my hands on. From obnoxiously twirling my pencil to watching time–consuming YouTube videos, I wasn 't very productive, and as a result, I had to cram until two AM for an exam the next day. I had always known that procrastination was satisfying, and now with this new information that confirms that it feeds off of my "good" feelings based on my body 's anatomy. Moving on, I then researched how to recognize why myself and others procrastinate in the first place. The first reason people procrastinate is that they "become" perfectionists. As procrastination becomes a more common act, it can also bring about the action of perfectionism. Harold Taylor does a fantastic job at identifying perfectionism, along with other reasons

Procrastination
I. Attention Getter: A famous author by the name of Wayne Dyer once said, "Procrastination is one of the most common and deadliest of diseases and its toll on success and happiness is incredibly heavy."(1) In todays society it seems as if procrastination has become a normal and acceptable thing to do. It is often joked about amongst schoolmates and co–workers around the world. Nothing seems to get done until it absolutely needs to get done, then everyone runs around getting things done quickly and often times inaccurately. The trouble with this mentality however is that some things will never get done because something will come up tomorrow or the next day and what you are putting off now gets pushed even further back. Today I will persuade you to stop this habit from continuing. I will be explaining the problems we face when dealing with procrastination as well as how to deal with it and actions you can take to prevent it in the future.
Transition: It is in our human nature to procrastinate, some of us do it more than others but learning about this problem and understanding how it can effect you can be beneficial to everyone

Thank you for positing your first draft for review!
Strengths: Interesting topic. One we should all be talking about. Global warming is something that is not something that will happen in the future but is actually happening right now. You have lots of great sources that provide a lot of information.
What Works? Why?
1. Introduction: Your introduction is the place where you catch the reader's attention. You want this to be a place where you provide facts that will get the reader wanting to read the following paragraphs. In a persuasive essay there is no place for the first person. By starting with "I believe..." you have already lost credibility. The reader will now think that your paper is based on your opinions rather than facts. Your thesis...show more content...
Supporting Evidence: I feel you have strong supporting evidence.
4. Conclusion: Just like in your introduction the first person hasn't have a place in this paper. You do a great job proving your point but again it can all be for nothing by adding YOUR opinion to the conclusion. The conclusion paragraph is the point where you wrap up your essay and you remind the reader what your thesis was. Without a thesis, you don't have a place to connect the reader back to the beginning.
Thesis: You are missing a thesis. The thesis helps you make your point about what the paper will be about and tell the reader what points you will be touching on to prove your point. I would suggest you pick three points that you feel will make a strong case on why or what is causing global warming. After pointing out those three points you can write the paragraph that will include why and how those things are hurting our animals, habitats and human life.
Structure: Overall your structure is good. I do see some grammatical and spelling errors. Like in your conclusion you use the word "and" to connect the points you are making, you should try using a comma to separate those points. There is also a really long sentence that can actually be broken up into two
