Essay Topic Picker
Choosing an essay topic can take longer than writing the thing. Spin for a clear, debatable question, and the class gets started sooner — or use it to assign topics fairly so no two neighbours write the same one.

Essay Topic Picker questions
How do I give everyone a different topic?
Turn on “Remove winner” and spin once per student — each topic drops off as it's assigned, so there are no duplicates.
Are these for argument or expository essays?
Both — most are debatable, which suits argument essays, but they work as expository prompts too. Edit the wording to match the form you're teaching.
