1. Describe type
Ex: Describe a time you were surprised. What happened?
2. Recount type
Ex: People have jobs because they need money to live, but what are some other
important reasons that people have jobs?
3. Make argument type
Ex: People are never satisfied with what they have; they always want something
more or different. Do you agree or disagree? Why? Give specific reasons for your
answer.
