Purpose questions from yesterday’s test.
---
Writing from last week.
- You can write about the lecture first, but it’s sometimes better for the connection of ideas if you then put the points from the text before the ones from the lecture.
- If the independent prompt is about which “life choice” is better, start by thinking through a few typical situations where one action can be better or worse than another:
	Does one option cost more than the other?
	Does it help or hurt in different areas of life?
		education
		career
		relationships (friends or family)
		liesure activities
		necessary activities (chores, taxes, etc.)
		budget
		responsibilities
