A computer is definitly a must have tool within in a school. Society is depending more and more on computers to do a lot of work. Computers are used in practically every job a person has and it is good for a student to get experience to them as early as possible. Computers are also a great tool for learning. It can provide students with a quick and easy route to getting information and for looking things up. Although some students may get distracted with computers within the classroom, a teacher can do some things to prevent this from happening. Making all your students turn their back towards you, so you can see all their screens, is a good way to monitor what students are looking at.

Audience: My boss
Having a computer within a classroom is a great way for students to learn. Can you imagine doing your job without a computer? Well, in order to do most of the jobs within America, computer skills are neccessary. In order for students to learn computer skills it is a good idea to present them with a computer as early as possible. The more they are around a computer the more they learn from it.
Awesome work, Andy. I like how in your audience revision you asked your boss to think about his/her need for a computer and then pointed out how students need to be using computers so they are ready for the workforce. Great work. Keep it up.
I like the suggestion to have students turn their backs toward the instructor to make their screens visible. I also like the way that you went from a longer, more in-depth argument to a more concise, personal argument for your boss. Good job!
