Most of you have spent at least thirteen years of your life in school. This is a significant amount of time, and whether you enjoyed school or not, these years in school surely had a major impact on your life. You may not always have learned what your teachers wanted or intended for you to learn, but you always learned something. The first major essay assignment, worth 100 points of your grade, asks you to reflect on your school experiences by discussing the three most significant lessons you have learned in school.
The finished essay should:
• adhere to the guidelines in The Essay Guide.
• use each of the strategies discussed in the lesson on idea development at least once.
• use the classical essay structure presented in the Fundamentals module.
• use complete and grammatically correct sentences.
• not use abbreviations or contractions unless you are quoting something that someone said in dialogue. This is a formal essay.
• not use phrases such as “I believe,” “in my opinion,” “it seems to me,” etc. These phrases only take up space. The reader knows that it is what you think, believe, and remember because you wrote the essay. See the advice in “How to Say Nothing in 500 Words.”
