· Begin by choosing a topic.
· the benefits of learning to speak another language
· the importance of choosing a profession
· the benefits of serving in the military
· the long-term effects of stress
· the use of technology in the lives of individuals
· the effects of playing video games on individuals
· the cause for procrastination in writing
· the advantages of buying a home
· the advantages of keeping a car engine in good repair
· the benefits of going to an online university
· the power of music on individuals
· Whatever you choose, be ready to write a full essay for the Assignments. Although you can change your topic in the next couple of weeks, it is better if you choose something you like now and stick with it.
· Choose two of the prewriting strategies–research your topic, brainstorm, freewrite, map, or outline–and use them to explore your topic.
