1. Using the plus-neutral-minus format to brainstorm,
draw the 1/3, 1/3, 1/3 format and brainstorm this thesis
sentence: All citizens should belong to a religious
organization. Do not read into the thesis anything that
it does not say. Don't say "People may not want to"
because "want to" is not a part of the thesis sentence.

occur. In the Minus column you write negative that could
occur. In the Neutral column you write things that could
occur but are not positive nor negative. Have at least six
solid items in the Plus column and at least six in the Minus
column. This is NOT a silly assignment, so I want no silly
answers. Type this.It may be Portrait or Landscape.
