✍️ PRACTICE WITH ME IN THE COMMENTS: Your biology professor gives you the topic of 'vaccines' for your essay. Think of research questions based on this topic. Use these types of essays to help you:

-- definition (what is...)
-- classification (types/categories)
-- compare/contrast (similarities and/or differences)
-- cause/effect (causes and/or effects. reasons, benefits, downsides)
-- process (how to, what are the steps?)
-- problem & solution (possible problems/challenges & solutions)
-- argumentative (Should...?)
