Prompt: Write a five paragraph argumentative essay about whether you think technology and the internet have brought young people closer together. Use evidence from research to support your position and include at least one counterargument to the opposing side.

Pre-Writing Tips:

Keep your argument and reasons organized.
Stay confident and assertive in your position - take a side - don't be wishy washy. You cannot stay neutral!
Consider why someone would argue against you and respond to them appropriately.
Use reason and logic rather than emotion when creating your response.
Set a positive and respectful tone.
Have reliable sources, examples, and evidence to back up your claims. Don't forget to cite all resources used!
You'll need to provide resources for both sides of the argument to create a well-rounded, rational essay.
