To start my essay, I would use strategy number 7. I would open my essay with a quotation. It would arouse interest; it can encourage your audience to read further. Many writers like to start with a good quote that sums up the points they discuss. The quote has to be clever. It goes without saying that it must have a real connection to the topic at hand. Good quotes should make an opening impact on the reader, build credibility for your essay, add humor and make the essay more interesting. The effective uses of quotation augment the power of your arguments and make essays more interesting.
To start my conclusion, I would use strategy number 1. I would conclude my essay by reviewing my keys points or restating my thesis. Your basically sum up all of your points in the essay. Rather like tying up all of the loose ends. You should also refer back to the quotation. And if possible say the positives and negatives of your view. Oh and if possible I would write in a couple of words what the sections were about if you use them in the evidence as the positives and negatives.

Freewriting
Freewriting is an invention activity that many writers may find useful or not useful. Writing usually goes better once you are warmed up. The hardest thing about writing is getting started. The first question that we ask ourselves is “Where to start?”
It is a useful activity because many writers figure that they don’t have to worry about the rules of Standard English. When I was freewriting I was writing for about 10 minutes I was just jotting down ideas about my topic. It is “Free” meaning that I turn off all my concerns about grammar, punctuation, spelling, and complete sentences that could make any sense. Freewriting is also useful cause once I was finished writing I was able to put all my thoughts together to form a good paper. I think Ms. Tyler for giving us the opportunity to use the class time to freewrite about our topic. Freewriting is another way of brainstorming your topic. Freewriting about your topic comes from off the top of my head.
Freewriting has absolutely no rules. Freewriting often is a series of disjointed ramblings that make little sense. This was a very useful activity. Some activity that I try to help me better enhance my writing skill wasn’t useful as freewriting.
