developed essay in which you explain your position, providing convincing support for your choice. to begin your prewriting,
you must first decide if you agree with this statement or not. once you have done that, then you should find evidence to
support your position. you may use examples from your own life or from recent national events (anecdotal evidence) or
evidence from any of the readings that we have done so far in unit 1 (or in semester a of your american literature class).
before you begin writing your actual essay, you should have a basic outline: your thesis statement - whether you agree or
disagree reason 1 with supporting evidence reason 2 with supporting evidence reason 3 with supporting evidence
