Open Ended

Give one reason for and one reason against from your plan yesterday.

Should women have been highwaymen?

YESTERDAY

Yesterday, you planned a balanced argument.

RECAP: This is a piece of writing that shows both sides of an argument before you write your own opinion.

Why are pieces of writing like this useful?
