Write an essay (2 pages in length, double spaced) responding to any (NOT all) of the questions above. You may use the following resources or any other helpful articles/sites to help you start your brainstorming:
Be sure to show me your best writing. While this is a rather informal essay, it still should be free of spelling/grammatical errors. Each section/sentence should flow well into the next. And don't forget to cite your sources. I want to see what kind of writer you are as well as know your thoughts on the subject.
Your essay will be submitted through Google Classroom on the first week of the school year. (more info on that later)
