Good afternoon LINC 7,

This morning, we talked about the 'Boomerang Generation' in Canada.  Now, I would like you to write an opinion essay using the format that we've practised together in class, with a contrasting thesis statement.  What do you think about the 'Boomerang Generation'?  Does this trend seem unusual to you or does this happen in your culture/country too?  Remember to use examples and statistics to support your opinion.  You can refer to the text we discussed in class or the links that we viewed together.  I have included the links below for your reference.
