Question

Reason 1 why this course should be added. Be specific and explain. Use persuasive appeals-ethos, pathos, logos. Don’t just say “I like this class.” Make sure to cite any sources you use.
(This will be the 1st body paragraph in your letter)
Use this " I'm writing because I think we should add a new course called "Coding Basics" to our curriculum. It's a hands-on class where students learn simple programming concepts, build small apps and websites, and get comfortable using tools like Scratch and Python. Having this course would give students real-world skills for future jobs, boost problem-solving and creativity across subjects, and help make our school more tech-ready" to help write the first body paragraph make sure you dont use super proper grammar

Answer 1

I'm writing because I think we should add a new course called "Coding Basics" to our curriculum — it's a hands-on class where students learn simple programming concepts, build small apps and websites, and get comfy with tools like Scratch and Python. This isn't just a fun elective — it's real-world job prep: careers in computing are among the fastest-growing and often pay well, so giving kids basic coding skills actually widens their future options and helps our school stay relevant (see U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics on computer & IT occupations: https://www.bls.gov/ooh/computer-and-information-technology/home.htm). Teachers and organizations who study education say learning to code also builds transferable problem-solving and computational-thinking skills that show up across subjects, from math to writing (see Wing, "Computational Thinking," Communications of the ACM, 2006: https://doi.org/10.1145/1118178.1118215). And groups pushing for equitable access to CS argue offering a low-barrier class like this helps close opportunity gaps so every student — not just the ones already into tech — gets a shot at those benefits (Code.org advocacy & research: https://code.org/advocacy). So honestly, adding "Coding Basics" gives practical skills, boosts thinking and creativity schoolwide, and helps make sure we aren't leaving kids behind as the job market and classrooms get more digital.
