Essay prompt for week 8: Choose a topic, and develop a question to write about. This is a wide-open topic: it can be personal or universal in nature--current events, human experiences, etc. It should be a big enough issue to develop a 3-5+ paragraph essay. Here is a list of example topics which may help you develop your question. You should not use one of these topics, however. If you are having trouble developing a question, send me an email describing your thoughts so far and I can help you refine your question.
