Prompt #6: Would you want to live your life according to the precepts of Proverbs?
Your paper should be no shorter than 500 words (about two pages).
I will not give you letter grades or extensive comments. If you want specific feedback on your short essays, come speak with me outside of class. I am more than happy to explain my assessment. Also in my office are copies of superior essays from the past. If you are uncertain about this assignment, I encourage you to stop by office and read several of those for inspiration.
For further guidance on this assignment, including the grading system, read, “The Think Piece: A Guide” online at http://profcohen.net/ltwl129/think.pdf

Remember, you have to write 4 think pieces by the end of the quarter. There will be approximately 17 prompts from which you may choose.
