You will be writing an editorial starting tomorrow. You will get to pick your own topic, or select one of the issues we have discussed in class. I recommend one that we have talked about in class because you have heard both sides already. For tomorrow, find a little more research to bring to class(from online, if you want). Ex. If you want to write your opinion about the sex ed classes that teach gender neutrality, find a little more about each side and print it off.
