In the time that you have remaining in class, you may write as much or as little as you like. However, I will be collecting these and evaluating them based on your depth of thought.  
I expect a well-developed thought process and complete ideas expressed in your writing. I also expect an attempt at an organized process of writing down your thoughts; however, it is your thoughts that I am most interested in.
