Formal Writing #3 Prep: This I Believe Essay: This essay should reflect the culmination of your thoughts about passion and belief as prompted by Shoeless Bro. It is based on the NPR series “ This I Believe,” in which the general public is invited to write (and sometimes read) a short essay about their belief statements. In preparation, you are asked to read at least 5 “This I Believe” columns online to see the range of people and ideas represented. Three I'm picking for you, and three you can select on your own. Have some fun with this as some are very, very powerful. The three I've selected for you are:
1 - Sarah Adams from Port Orchard, WA
2 - Penn Jillette from Las Vegas, NV
3- Stephanie Disney, Ashland, KY
You will then read two of your own, and of the five, you will write two journals as reactions to the essays (Journals #7 & #8). Be prepared to discuss the two you chose in class tomorrow.
