Agenda
1) Warmup
I write essays so I can _____.
2) Introduction to Essay Writing
Homework
Re-read your chosen story.
Today we will begin the process of writing our first essay. Since I have been a professional writer for 20 years, I feel that I have a lot to offer in terms of the writing process, and I really believe my students will get a very strong grounding in techniques that apply to writing essays and a whole lot of other things besides.
Today I gave the students an overview of the process, which will last the better part of two weeks.
