As part of our happiness project, we’re going to start today with a writing exercise that I think will be fun: First we’ll read the examples on this site and then see if we can each come up with some of our own.
Then we will discuss the narrative essay that you read yesterday.
We’ll discuss the elements of the essay that are narrative and the elements that are more like an essay.
Then in groups you will attempt to identify a number of different literary and stylistic elements in the essay and explain how they create meaning. (If you’re looking for a digital version of the essay please go to our elearning site.)
