Topic Choice
During this course, you will be working on a five-paragraph essay that presents an informed, cohesive opinion on a topic of your choice. In this assignment, you will choose that topic and explain why it appeals to you more than any other topic. Think carefully about each possibility in the list of topics. Which one can you argue the best? Which one do you know about the most? Why does this one appeal to you more than any of the others?
Choose one topic from the following list:
- Some people argue that video games are purely detrimental because they can increase the chance of child obesity and a child’s exposure to violence, while others point out that games teach problem-solving skills and can be educational. Do you think that the benefits of video games outweigh the problems? Why or why not?
Respond to the following:
- Why does the chosen topic appeal to you more than any other topic?
Be sure to include the following in your response:
- Topic sentence (HIGHLIGHT)
