Today in class we learned a useful brainstorming idea to make finding talking points for essays easier. We simply pick out our main topic and find sub-topics within that topic to branch out from. From there we use the sub-topics to find even more things to write about. This method is really useful for planning out essays. I will use this method in the future to help write my own essays. I learned a useful thing in class that I will make sure to utilize in the future.

The lesson today taught me about different reasons for standing for the pledge and reasons for not standing. Both sides have their reasons and it's important to remember that standing for the pledge is not mandatory in the U.S. I had a good time in class and learned something new.
