Brief Activities for Section F.

  
A. Freewriting an Argument:

Think of someone or something with which you disagree strongly.  Write your disagreement as fast as you can for a page or two.  Write anything you want and say it in any way you want; however, do not show it to anyone other than, possibly, your writing instructor!

B. Imagining a Position:

Take an imaginary position on something silly or fun.  Support your side of the issue--your position--by writing about it as fast as you can for a page or two.

C. Imagining a Debate:

Imagine a dialogue, silly or serious, between two people who clearly disagree on an important or silly issue.  Write a debate between them, having them support their sides with detailed facts and/or examples.
