These are the essays I would like to review, for my students. If they have not decided on a topic yet, I’d love to see some other ones they might like. This isn’t about what they’ll write about, but rather how I might have phrased the questions, which helps me get a good sense of their writing style, and I think it can help teachers learn.
If you want to talk about the topic, look for an essay that addresses the key points of the topic (like getting the right people to do the work, and so on).
This was a tough one for me. My students tend to be very organized and do very focused work. I am a big believer in doing something different from your norm, but it is also easy to get caught up in the routines of grading and such and not fully appreciate the possibilities of new ways of learning. So instead of just going about your usual grading process, I encourage students to try something different with their grading method.
I was actually pleasantly surprised with this one. I had the students write essays about topics that are close to their own interests. The topics were not too hard, but it was fun to see how much they learned about their own interests in the process.
The challenge was to write an essay that not only uses the new word, isee, but also uses it in a way that engages students. For example, one of my students was assigned to write about a topic related to their interests. She chose an essay topic that she was very interested in. I wanted her to challenge herself to write an essay that uses the word, isee, in a way that is not only engaging, but also uses the word in a way that engages her.
In my class, we had many students who were taking the course because they were interested in writing. They wanted to write. They knew how to write. They knew what to write about. But writing essays was not their strength. They needed to be able to use the language. Writing essays was not their strength. They needed to be able to use the language.
But there were those of us who wanted to be writers, too, and those of us who wanted to write essays. We were both striving to write essays that would be engaging, compelling, and not just a collection of random facts. Myself, I wanted to write essays that would be engaging, compelling, and not just a collection of random facts. Many people do.
But our essays weren’t really good essays. They were bad essays. We were both working with a very specific set of rules for writing, and we couldn’t come up with very much of a good essay. I’m sure many of us who wanted to write essays did have a good intention. But we failed to practice it. We didn’t practice it because we didn’t have the time. We didn’t have the time because we weren’t really good writers.
What you’re saying is that the only reason you’re struggling to succeed as a writer is because you’re not a good writer. This is true. There are lots of other things that make us good writers that just don’t apply to you. And as long as you’re not a good writer, you have no real purpose in life.
And it is precisely this reason that makes writing not really a useful skill. Writing is a lot like acting. Acting is a lot like trying to pass a test on the spot. But writing IS a test. And youre passing it on the spot. Youre not getting a grade. You have to wait until tomorrow. And the only thing that really matters is that you get a reaction out of it.
