Description
Personal essays are an amazing way to tap into student writing!
As open structure pieces of persuasive writing, they use techniques and content from a variety of other writing formats without the rigidity of formal literary essay style and structure. Instead, they allow students to use evidence they are more than familiar with (their own lives) and a natural voice (their voice) to develop their thesis.
This is the kind of writing students see and do daily; in conversations, in ads, in emails, in YouTube videos, etc. and the importance of understanding it cannot be overstated. They are also a great way to connect the class by getting to know each other through our foundational life moments — very powerful stuff when you harness it for learning!
