Personal Essays - Opinion Writing Pt 2

1. What was one idea that the writer gave in the Wide Range of Topics section that you can use as you start deciding on a topic? Whatever you care about is fair game to use as an essay topic.

2. What was one idea the writer gave in the Opinions Pieces section that you should remember as you are writing your piece? Details draw the reader in, generalizations keep them out. Be specific. Avoid using abstract expressions and phrases such as “the best day of my life”, “my happiest moment as a parent”, “I’d never known greater grief” to describe emotions of love, loss, anger, joy, satisfaction, etc.
3. List three suggestions the writer makes in the Personal Essays and Crafts section that you will use as you write. While personal essays allows for the use of many fictional craft elements — dialogue, setting, point of view, characterization – if you use facts to anchor your piece or as a springboard for your opinions, you need to double-check them for accuracy. One factual error can prevent the reader from believing much else that you have to say.
