Our differences can help us explore and understand more of the world and what it means to be human. A Personal Essay is a short work of nonfiction in which the writer expresses an idea or opinion, or provides an insight based on personal experiences. For an example of a well-written Personal Essay you can use as a Mentor Text, review the essay "Unusual Normality."

Write a personal essay over a topic of your choosing.

An effective Personal Essay:

• begins with an introduction that catches readers' attention and presents the topic of the essay.

• is focused on an event from your own life or on something you've noticed in the world around you.

• includes details and uses devices such as dialogue to make the event or experience vivid.

• uses appropriate register (level of formality), vocabulary, tone, and voice.

• uses transitions to connect related ideas.

• ends by sharing insights about the topic.
