have him show you exactly whats wrong with you paper, then when he shows you what he thinks is wrong, give him you opinion on what you think is wrong and right about the paper. tell him how much time and research you spent. dont leave out details. speak to him privately after or before school. tell him why you think you deserve a b and ask him why he thinks you deserve a c. reason it out. make sure to look him in the eye. dont show any sign of worry, fear, or anything that will make him look more important just cus hes an adult. stand up for yourself. be persistant and determined. argue soon cus if you wait to long the paper wont have meaning anymore. try to not beg obviously, but if you have to ask more than twice thats for sure. be strong. good luck with him. at least your not asking for and A. all you want is a B. you being reasonable. you can face him.English teacher argument PLEASE HELP to change my grade?
Ask him if he'd let you attempt to correct your mistakes. That will prove to him that you've earned a better grade than he thinks.
If a teacher doesn't give ';A';'s what is the incentive to work in that class?
I hope that's not how you wrote in your paper! You don't sound like a Pre-AP student to me.



But to answer your question...



Cut your essay into parts. Point out how each point was relevant to the paper, how you gave crucial information to add to your essay rather just to fill space. Also, show where you made points or questions that deepen your essay and really get to the heart of things.



If, after looking at your essay again, you can't think of anything to say, you probably deserved the C-. I was an honors student throughout high school... it took me awhile to learn what separated a good essay from a great one. Good luck.
I can't really give you an arguement without ever having read your paper.



Sorry, but good luck!
Ask him for his rubric or another way he grades essays. Ask if he can show you specific reasons why he marked you down. Do this privately before or after school. As a teacher, I can tell you I'm much more apt to be agreeable in private than if I have to maintain my authority in front of the whole class.



After he tells you why he marked you down tell him you really want to earn a B and ask if you can redo the paper. If he says no, tough luck. But if he gives you another chance, make sure you understand exactly what he wants you to do. Then do it quickly (within the next few days).



And no matter what he says, be calm and mature. Don't get emotional or argumentative. If you approach him respectfully this will really help your case.
