Personal Anecdote Essay

Write a lesson or fact of life you learned, as does Isaac Asimov in "Intelligence," p.49, and James Lincoln Collier in "Anxiety: Challenge by Another Name," p. 82. Your essay must meet the following requirements:

  1. Relate to the average person.
  2. State the thesis in the conclusion (though you may allude to it in the body).
  3. Include at least one well-developed personal anecdote or several short ones.
  4. Feature a logical and consistent order, such as chronological or at least familiar to most people.
  5. Begin with an engaging title (this time it counts) and a thoughtful introduction.
  6. Italicize the thesis in the conclusion.
  7. 1-2 pages, double spaced.
Due Wednesday, September 30, 2009 at the end of class. If time is used well, however, the due date may be extended to Friday, October 2, 2009 at the end of class.
