If you choose to do this assignment, the grade can substitute for a lower essay grade.

It may be turned in any time between now and November 1. It will not be accepted after November 1.

If it is submitted for a grade by October 20, you will have a chance to revise it and resubmit it before November 1. Anything turned in after October 20 will not be eligible for this opportunity.

This essay should be written in a pro-con format. Click here for instructions for how to organize it. Remember that because the essay is supposed to be at least three pages, it will require more than five paragraphs. Therefore, the five things listed in the instructions do not represent paragraphs.
