- Choose a side and use the format to organize your thoughts (agree or disagree and support why you agree or disagree)
- You can see the other file for an example 5-paragraph essay if you are unsure of what it should look like.
- The essay should be a full page or nearly a full page, although longer is also fine.
- Try to use linking expressions (when necessary, about every second sentence)

If you don't like any of these you can write about whatever you like (as long as it is in the style of an argument for or against something)
