Still looking for our first perfect paper ...<br />
<br><br />
There are two options this week: Plan A for those who want to do some short, timed essays (for example, to prepare for the SAT), and Plan B for those who like the longer essays. For Plan A, give yourself only 25 minutes, pick a topic, and write a short essay without much computer-based editing (you might even want to handwrite it). Take a break and then repeat that three times, for a total of 4 essays, hopefully improving each time; there is no word goal. For Plan B, write an essay of 1400 words on one or more of the topics.<br><br />
<br>NOTE: You are free to argue ''against'' the position taken by the topic, if any.<br />
<br><br><br />
1. The power of "[[dissent]]": when one person disagrees with everyone else, he can have an influence bigger than his single vote.<br />
<br />
2. How does one best present a case or argument to God - with reason or emotion?<br />
<br />
3. Charity benefits both the donor and the recipient, while government programs benefit only the recipient, and sometimes not even him.<br />
<br />
4. Wealth is sometimes used effectively to help mankind. Here is one example: Joseph of Arimathea when he donated his own expensive tomb for the burial of [[Jesus]].<br />
<br />
5. [[Hillary Clinton]] just defeated [[Barack Obama]] by a wide 55%-45% margin in [[Pennsylvania]], but [[Obama]] still leads in the overall delegate count. The [[Democrats]] cannot win the Presidency unless they win [[Pennsylvania]]. If you were a Democrat, what would you want the Party to do? (Parodies welcome, though not for the SAT!)<br />
<br />
6. [[Liberal hate speech]] is a growing problem. What is it, and what should be done about it?<br />
<br />
7. Space exploration: a waste of time and money?<br />
<br />
8. [[Affirmative action]]: wrong in principle, and wrong in practice?<br />
<br />
9. The past is like the future: it depends entirely on what you make of it.<br />
<br />
10. High gas prices are actually good: they encourage people to spend more time at home and less time on the roads.<br />
<br />
11. If teachers and students were armed with guns, then there would be fewer beatings, intimidation by gangs, and massacres in [[public school]].<br />
<br />
12. From Friday through Tuesday about 500,000 people watched the much-publicized movie ''[[Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed]]''. During that same time period, about the same number of page views (visits) occurred on the little-publicized [[Conservapedia]]. What does that say about the future of movies compared to the internet?<br />
<br />
13. What does the expression the "[[Protestant]] work ethic" mean to you?<br />
<br />
14. Write on any comparable topic of your choice. For SAT writers, you can find topics on the internet (and can choose this option for more than one of your essays).<br />
<br><br><br />
Enjoy!<br />

==Indoctrination==<br />
This isn't education, this is spoon-feeding your partisan agenda to kids who don't know any better, will do anything to look smart to teacher and, when they reach college, will become disillusioned, jaded, and realize what a hideous teacher you really are. How horrible for you to put your own agenda above your kids' education. Doesn't it say a lot, you think, that you didn't homeschool them?-[[User:Acd1|Acd1]] 23:53, 23 April 2008 (EDT)</div>Acd1
