To earn full points though you’ll want to make sure to develop the idea (discussing why it’s important to you, what you might like to learn etc).

If you start with your idea and then follow the rubric for points you should be able to pull a few more things out than only your topic. I’ve seen them be a few paragraphs and even a page or two.
