Max TP#7

TP#7 April 2nd
Today Rebecca and I met, as usual during the lunch hours at CIES. We had to brainstorm topic ideas for an essay assignment. I discussed with her what the American Education system normally does for essays (Introduction, 3 Points, Conclusion) and how we had standardized “Write’s-Upon-Request” done 4 times a year. So we talked about  the standard non-controversial style writing prompts, some of the examples I gave her were “Should Soda be allowed in schools, why or why not?”, “Should sports be mandatory for kids? Why or why not?”, and “Should kids be limited in the amount of television they watch?”.
She went with “should sports be mandatory for kids”. We talked about each one in our respective culture, and being from Africa I think she related most to the sports question.  Her own answer was that yes, it should be mandatory, however, they should pick which sport it is.
