Question

Need help w/7 pg paper debating the pros and cons of year round schools.  I've found the basic reasons for each side, but I find it's too difficult to write about both sides in one paper.

Can you help me get started and give me some kind of outline to follow so I can fill in all the points w/out rambling or sounding like it's just a list from someone elses paper?

Thanks SOO much.  Was given almost no time and I'm a slow writer, too!

Pros and cons is simply a form of comparison/contrast writing. Here are some good websites explaining how to plan and organize such a paper:
