Choose ONE of the following to develop into a thoughtful, well-developed essay:
1. Write an essay in which you establish that you are an optimistic or pessimistic person. Use
several examples to support your thesis.
2. If you could change three or four aspects of the educational program at your school, what would
they be? Confine your essay to school policies and practices. Do not examine the physical state
of the building or facilities. Be sure to group your examples together to unify your essay and
support a single thesis.
3. Write an essay in which you discuss the greatest threats, challenges, or obstacles facing the United
States or your generation.
4. Using your own observation of friends and family, write an essay in which you suggest some of
the positive or negative characteristics of Americans or American culture.
5. Write an essay in which you present examples to illustrate your formula for achieving success.
This may academic success, personal success, athletic success, or financial success. Be sure to use
examples from others experiences or your own to make your point, and avoid writing a “process”
essay.
6. Using examples from your own experience, write an essay in which you discuss the virtues,
benefits, or advantages of one of the following:
• A hobby
• Participation in athletics
• Participation in performing arts: theater, dance, or music
• Study and practice in the fine arts
• Part-time employment
7. Write an essay in which you analyze current trends and use recent examples to illustrate the
direction of American music, film, television, entertainment in general, leisure activities, or to
predict the future of American culture in general.
