"Bes sure your essay is about something care strongly enough about to wax eloquent and passionate about it." (I really liked this tip. It's simple, but strong.)
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. Make these emotions real and immediate by noting specifics and details that draw the reader into the experience, rather than just setting them aside as observers."
3. List three suggestions the writer makes in the Personal Essays and Crafts section that you will use as you write.
1. Be sure your facts are accurate, but this is an opinion essay- it is not all facts but more on your own thoughts and opinion.
2. Hook the reader right at the beginning to keep them wanting to read more.
3. Write as evocatively as possible. (Use imagery, poetic devices, figurative language, etc.)
