You will write a Nonfiction Essay based on one or more of your personal experiences.
(Note: Your essay should not be religious in nature.) Your essay should include an analogy to help develop your personal experience into a clear thesis. You need to develop your analogy within the entire essay and connect it to your story so the reader understands the point you are making.
What to Write:
• Introduction
o Include a preview of the personal experience(s) in the essay
o Introduce your analogy
o THESIS Statement - Tell the reader the points you will talk about in this essay in one sentence.
• Body Paragraphs #1 - 3
o Describe your personal experience(s)
o Use sensory details (taste, touch, smell, sight, hearing)
o Create a tone that matches with your analogy (i.e., optimistic)
o Connect your analogy to each part of your story in the body paragraphs.
• Conclusion
o Connect your experiences with your analogy
o Explain the lesson learned from the experience
o Show the significance of your experiences
Remember:
• Include a Works Cited page for any sources used.
• Make sure to develop the analogy in the whole essay
• Avoid copying from the internet to avoid plagiarism. Use your own original ideas.
