For EACH type of essay, Expository, Persuasive, and Cause/Effect, students are given a handout explaining the type of essay, a sample essay with "clues," a sample completed essay, and a BLANK essay template to complete!
PLEASE NOTE: Students are given vague topics from which they complete each essay template. The Expository Essay Template prompts students to write about something they do well, in the "How To" format.
