  There's not much. My two cents:
  
  Do a Pros and Cons list of both sides (probably the most important step). Pick a side. Pick a reason from your Pro/Con list that shows why that's the better side and Pick a reason from your Pro/Con list that shows why the other side isn't better. Write 2 paragraphs; The first one states that while there are good reasons not to pick your side (actually mention them), your reason is the overriding factor in determining that one should pick your side; Paragraph 2 states that while there are good reasons to pick the other side(actually mention them too), your reason why the other side isn't better is the overriding factor in determining that the other side shouldn't be picked over your side. Finish that paragraph with a sentence summarizing your arguments both for and against.
  
  Keep it simple. This doesn't have to be the Gettysburg Address. It just can't suck. Try to fill both pages if you can, but not at the expense of clear writing. Also, make sure you handwriting is good.
