lesson 7.1: Audience and Thesis

My audience would be both students and the people who run colleges, as what I am addressing is student tuition hikes, and while I am taking a con stance in this case, I am showing the opposing arguments, as well.

My thesis is "Raising tuition for students will lessen the supply of skilled laborers for the workforce, which will have a negatively affect the economy because it will make it harder for students to pay for college, complete their degrees, and become contributing members to the workforce."

The three supporting clauses I went with were

1) Making college harder to pay for students will require them to go into deeper levels of debt.
2) Higher Education is a priceless opportunity that should be open for all.
3) Keeping tuition costs low will allow for more enrollment, which will allow colleges to have more prestige.

I am really only addressing one with the thesis.
