We have spent the last several weeks reviewing the essay. In many ways we have evolved our definition of this often misunderstood format for high school. Many of you have asked wonderful questions in our 3/2/1 closures and in class, which leads me to believe you have many more.
In this installment of our blog, I would like two posts.
In the first post:
Tell me at least one powerful lesson you have taken away from our writer's workshop, something that you perhaps did not know before or now understand better. Feel free to name as many lessons as apply. I would like to know how this has affected your understandings about the essay and, more importantly, your feelings about writing essays in the future.
In the second post:
Questions, questions, questions (you're up Anna F. - do it). I want to know what is left to curiosity here. What is still bothering you about features of the essay (S/M/M and its friends)? What is still unclear or needs more clarification? Do you just want to make a comment about this squirrely format? Go for it.
