For Essay #2, you can choose your own topics. Since this essay is an argument, your topic should be debatable. Please read the Assignment Sheet and the model essay “Children Need to Play, Not Compete” pp. 276-279 in SMG, and think about possible topics. The paper is only about 4-5 pages, so specific and small topics will prove to be more workable. List three of your favorite topics. You could give a brief explanation if you like. Due: 9:00 pm, 9/22.

Three potential topics for my argumentative essay are:
1) Prayer in school.
2) Immigration into the US
3) The Death penalty

Personally I think your first is interesting and workable. But do you think 2 and 3 are too general? Keep trying.

Three potential topics:
1. should abortion be legal in all states
2. should teenagers be required to get their parents permission to obtain birth control information and contraceptives
3. should physical education be required in all high schools
9:43 pm - 9-21-2009
Your 1 and 2 are complicated issues, so I don’t think you can make your points clear in 4-5 pages. What’s more, your topics involve law or ethical issues, so they are not quite suitable for college writing assignments. Try again.

It was rather interesting for me to read that post. Thanks for it. I like such themes and everything connected to them. I would like to read a bit more soon. BTW, pretty good design your site has, but what do you think about changing it once in a few months?

Great blog you got here. I’d like to read more about that matter. The only thing it would also be great to see on this blog is a few pics of any gizmos.

I have read the post including the comments. I guess some have already took a stand before even discussing the issue. I believe that every side has a point. The problem is what point can you stand by and still sleep soundly at night.
