Essay Writing 101

What are you writing about? Specific Topic Comparison Pro vs. Con Narrative Argument Research Who was Michael Jackson and how did he influence music around the world? Michael Jackson and Elvis Presley are both extremely popular music artists. Compare and contrast their biographies, musical styles, and effects on the music industry. Today a lot of popular music includes swear words and sexual images. At school dances, students request these songs to be played. Discuss some reasons for and against whether a DJ should be allowed to play these songs at a school event. Conclude with your opinion. When was the first time you heard Michael Jackson’s music or saw one of his music videos? Describe your first impression and your thoughts. Should music that contains swear words and calls for violence against another group be allowed on public radio? Take a side and argue your opinion. Do students in your class prefer the music of Michael Jackson or Elvis Presley? Conduct a survey and present your findings. Support your conclusions with outside research.
