write a brainstorm post about possible topics for your first essay. Posts should:

Consist of three elements:

• a list of three possible topics you could write about.
• two paragraphs--one for each of the two most likely topics you just listed. Write about what the benefits or drawbacks from writing about those topics might be, what your personal connection/interest in the topics are, and why your audience might like/dislike them.
• one paragraph--choose one of the two topics you just wrote about as the subject for your I-Search essay. Continue writing, including 5-10 research questions you have about it.
• Then, comment on two classmates' posts in around 75-150 words. You need to have at least one piece of advice in your feedback--what problems do you foresee them running into? How might they go about their research? What aspect of their topic do you find most interesting?
