2. Brainstorm all pros of a class in creativity.
3. Brainstorm all cons of a class in creativity.
4. Is there any middle ground or a possible compromise/solution?
5. Write an outline (Part of the process of creating an outline is considering all of your ideas above and filtering convincing arguments from weird or too-obvious arguments. One of the body paragraphs reflected in the outline can be a concessions paragraph.) 
6. Write a thesis statement and 1 body paragraph of the essay. Submit your thesis + body paragraph to turnitin.com. (Alternately, write the whole essay. Under typical time constraints, you would likely have 20-25 minutes to actually draft the essay after the brainstorming and organizing process.)
