Essay Writing: Personal Essay Assignment
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, i
