We read essays every day. The subjects range from sports, to music, politics, love, place, art, and life. These essays draw us in; they are varied, descriptive, vibrant. They are real. And yet, these are not the kind of essays students typically write in secondary schools. Writing essays should empower students to make decisions, to show their thinking, to interrogate their sources, to have their say, and to take action. This webinar will empower you to design a unit in essay writing centered on freedom, possibility, and the art of essay writing.
