Generating Your Topic
First, please carefully review the course theme announcement your instructor has
posted. Your topic must address the course theme, and you will find many topic
ideas listed in the course theme announcement to help you get started brainstorming for
your own argumentative topic related to the course theme. Next, carefully read this
week's Lesson and textbook pages. Once you have completed and considered those
readings, with the assigned course theme and your ideas in mind, you should have
some thoughts about a possible topic you would like to write about.
Your ultimate goal for this discussion is simple: to generate several possible topics and
to narrow to a focused topic you will write about for the course. This is a whole-class
brainstorm workshop; we are all here to support each other toward the goal of finding a
good topic.
Please answer numbers 1 and 2 below.
1. Think about the Theme and about Topic-Choosing

Share your thoughts about the course theme. What were your initial reactions?

from this week's lesson worked best for you and why?
Finally, review the "What Do I Want to Accomplish" paragraph in the lesson and
describe what you wish to accomplish.
