Can someone post what the Kaplan method is for answering the essay? I don't have my books anymore. Thanks!

I have my books still, but I'm too lazy to open them.

I remember what my instructor said about the essays and he has a PhD in English.


Basically, just bullet point in your prep the pros and cons for both.

Write a basic essay with as much active voice as you can. Keep your sentences concise and not overly wordy or grandiloquent.
Try to be creative in your reasoning as to why one is better than the other. Make sure you note the other side's advantages and then answer as to why your position over comes them or does something to off set them.
