<p>I did not like the topic. Hoping to get a 9. :(</p>
<p>Question was : Is triving for a goal the best course of action?</p>
<p>Prompt: Planning hinders creativity?</p>
<p>Examples: </p>
<p>Barack Obama (primaries, possible challenges in presidency, first 100 days)</p>
<p>Economic Crisis (Wall Street, Congress, Obama’s administration)</p>
<p>References to the Great Depression, Herbert Hoover, and FDR (including New Deal)</p>
<p>for the planning essay i had the best idea: it would be totally stream of consciousness, use no punctuation, no paragraph breaks, etc., etc., not only to demonstrate how planning hinders creativity, but also to annoy the essay readers. i flirted with the idea while taking the test, but realized that was probably a better idea for someone who was already content with their writing scores.</p>
