It is becoming increasingly apparent that our world is becoming more and more concerned about the year 2012, specifically December 21, 2012. There are many theories about what will happen on that day: changes on earth, humans finally living in peace or possibly the end of the world. Your job is to prove or disprove that this day has major importance to us human beings living on this fragile planet of ours. Is doomsday fact or fiction? What do you believe? And, can you prove it?
Your job is to write a 5-Paragraph Persuasive Essay to convince your readers that December 21, 2012 is doomsday or just another day of the year. What points can you bring up to convince them? What evidence will you use to convince them that 2012 is fact or fiction?
