About the Essay: 
Today we go over the essay prompt and begin to brainstorm for our thesis (we'll write the thesis itself tomorrow.) Before you leave today, you should have chosen a side (good or evil), and brainstormed at least two reasons you believe that. This is in the STEP ONE part of the document.
