Read the statement below and decide whether you agree or disagree with it. Be prepared to support your opinion with details from the reading. Here's your
discussion prompt:
Independence is a universal human need.
What do you think? Write a paragraph supporting your opinion and then write a reply
paragraph. If you're working with others, your reply paragraph should respond to the
ideas of another student. If you're working alone, your reply paragraph should
support the opposite point of view from your own.
