Write an essay of argumentation--that is, an essay in which
you take a stand on a controversial issue. For example, you might
argue for or against making condoms available to junior high school
students in Washington; you might argue for or against stricter animal
rights legislation; you might argue for or against the national
legalization of marijuana. These are only a few examples, and all of them have been submitted by many students before you—
beware of re-treading on familiar ground! Try to choose a topic
that is contemporary—that is, not “dated.”
But whatever you write about, your position must not be merely
subjective--it must be supported by reasons and evidence.
