Use the handout to plan your writing process.
Which color are you feeling?
Writing essays isn't really my thing and I'm feeling helpless/overwhelmed:
Use exercises 8 & 9 (p 69): add 1 extra argument that is your own
Writing essays isn't my fave but I can do so if I write about a familiar topic:
2. Is a highly competitive environment good in schools?
3. Should content on the Internet be more restricted?
I've got lots of opinions and am pretty good at writing them down:
4. Is killing a serial killer immoral?
5. Do TV shows like “16 and Pregnant” promote teenage pregnancy?
6. Pick your own topic - but only if you can do it in less than 2 mins!
