		<description><![CDATA[This week, your assignment is to write a dialogue between two or more people having an argument. You may include small descriptions of the characters' body language, since non-verbal communication is as much a part of an argument as what is actually said. The characters can be any relation: spouses, parents, children, parents and their children, parents and other people's children, coworkers, a boss and an employee, a bus driver and a bus rider, complete strangers, etc.

Due date: September 14, 2009]]></description>
