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 reflect on how you might have written a better essay, and then repeat that process 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.  (You are free to argue ''against'' the position taken by the topic, if any.)
