ACTIVITY #3 WRITING WORKSHOP

ESSAY

NAME: DATE:

SECTION: TEACHER:

Before you write an essay, you have to think what form (also called genre or style) better
suits what you want to impart to your readers. Based on the purpose of your story, should it be
written as a descriptive, a narrative, an expository, or an argumentative/ persuasive essay? Here
are some more questions to consider:

1. Do you want to vividly describe a person, an object, a place, an experience, and/or a


situation?
2. Do you want to write a creative and stirring personal, experiential, or anecdotal story?
3. Are you trying to expound on an idea, investigate and evaluate the evidence, and analyze
its cause and effect?
4. Are you going to compare and contrast an idea with traditional and published ideas using
extensive research like interviews, surveys, and/or experiments?

If you answer “Yes” to the first question, you are only going to write a descriptive essay. If you
answer
“Yes” to the second question, you are going to write a narrative essay. If you answer “Yes” to
the third question, the piece you will be writing is an expository essay. If you answer “Yes” to
the last question, the piece you are going to write will be an argumentative/ persuasive essay.
Also, if you notice, the level of difficulty in accomplishing an essay intensifies with each
question. This escalation also spells the difference if you are writing an informal or a formal
essay.

As with any literary genres, the beginning of an essay---the introduction---is very important.
Every card that you lay on the table, so to speak, will have an effect on the outcome of your
story. It will also help the readers follow the flow of your narrative.
