Essay topics and structure

Image result for up in smoke




Options:

1. Should marijuana be legalised for recreational use?
2. Should nuclear power be phased out?
3. Should euthanasia for psychiatric patients be legal?
4. Should people be allowed to say whatever they want, or are there limits to "free speech"?



Structure

P1. Introduce the topic
P2. 3 arguments for/against
P3. 3 argument for/against
P4. Crunch paragraph - refute ideas you disagree with. Offer your best idea/s.
P5. Rephrase your basic argument and conclude

Tip 1. If you're against the proposition, use P2 to state arguments for. That way P3 will flow on easily to P4.

Tip 2. Remember to plan your essay. Save your best idea for P4. Make P4 longer and more developed than the other paragraphs.
