Start thinking of topics that….

• Relate to or affect the BVI or the Caribbean
• Politics
• Social Issues
• Transportation
• Think of your HOBBIES or personal interests that you have (fashion, cars, music, religion sports etc.)
• Think of your degree that you are seeking here at HLSCC (Business, English, math, law, teaching ect.) There are MANY issues that surround your career interests!

Topics to AVOID: (There are NO Exceptions)

• Marijuana
• Ergonomics
• Gay lifestyle
• Death Penalty
• Abortion
• Deforestation
• Mangroves
• Divorce
• Videogames
• Sex education
• The Beef Island, Scrub Island, or Oil Nut Bay projects

***Remember you are writing an ARGUMENTATIVE TOPIC; therefore, pick a topic that has more than one side to the issue.
