| − | 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 editing. Take a break and then repeat that four times, for a total of 4 essays, hopefully improving each time. For Plan B, write an essay of 1400 words on one of the topics. | + | 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.
