There are different strategies you can use when brainstorming. As a writer, you need to find which strategy works best for you. Review the brainstorming strategies listed on page 40 of your text, and then consider the following topics to practice the brainstorming activities of your choice:

• the benefits or drawbacks of taking online college courses
• a promising career choice
• a trend in fashion or music

Choose one of the three listed topics, and brainstorm about that topic using two different brainstorming strategies from page 40 in your text. You should have one topic with two different brainstorming activities posted for this discussion.

Review the information about summarizing on page 13 of your text. Post your summary of one of the essays on pages 424-499 of your text in the discussion area.

First, define fact, opinion, and inference in your own words. Then, read the article “How much are college students learning?” by Ben Widavsky from CNN’s Opinion section. Identify at least one fact, at least one opinion, and make at least one inference from this article. Post your definitions and your findings from the article in your original discussion post.
