III. Strategy:
A. Explore:
Look around you, what have you observed? Can you tell something that will spark
your interest? Look at the sky, building, and people. Describe what you had observed
by using your sensory imaginations (visual, tactile, gustatory, olfactory, and
audio).Write your observation on the spaces provided for.
B. Learn:
Autobiography
It is writing your own story which gives an elaborate information about yourself.
Unlike a biography, which is a true account of someone else's life, an autobiography
is a focused account of a writer's life told from the writer's own point of view.
Autobiographies fall into the nonfiction category.
Autobiographies are typically written in the first person, and use the pronoun, 'I',
which makes it easier for the writer to reflect upon and provide some perspective on
life events. Although autobiographical essays can be an abbreviated summary of an
entire life, they usually focus on a certain accomplishment or experience. Their
purpose is to educate, entertain or illustrate lessons learned retrospectively. As
works of nonfiction, autobiographical essays are expected to be accurate, as well as
creative and expressive, so that readers remain interested. Readers will only care
about the writer's life if he or she is emotionally invested.
Example
Biography
Reportage
Examples
Personal Narratives
A personal narrative essay is a story you choose to share with readers, for it
communicates your understanding of yourself, others, and/or society. As people, we
remember stories, so your personal narrative essay is a way you can transform an
ordinary experience into meaningful commentary that is applicable to a broad
audience.
Example:
Travelogue
Examples
Reflection essay
A reflective essay is an essay in which the writer examines his or her experiences
in life. The writer then writes about those experiences, exploring how he or she has
changed, developed or grown from those experiences.
The format of a reflective essay may change slightly depending on who the
audience is. For example, writing a reflective essay for a college course and an
academic audience will have slight changes in how the essay is organized from
writing a reflective essay for a magazine or a collection of essays, which has a broader
audience, without people who have necessarily gone to college. However, some major
elements go into a typical reflective essay: introduction, body and conclusion.

Examples
1. Born 1706 in Boston, Benjamin Franklin was the 15th of his father's 17 children. He went
to school as a child with the intent of becoming a minister, as his father, Josiah, intended.
2. The student I met helped me unload my luggage as the train reached Tilak Nagar Station
through the dramatic pulse of moving bodies in the 5-10 seconds one has to get off the train
already filled with people. He shook my hand strongly and glared into my eyes with marks of
genuine care and friendship, despite us meeting for only 20 minutes. And naturally, I was
swayed emotionally to be as sympathetic towards him, and signaled our momentary
companionship to him.
3. It was my second day on the job. I was sitting in my seemingly gilded cubicle, overlooking
Manhattan, and pinching my right arm to make sure it was real. I landed an internship at
Condé Nast Traveler. Every aspiring writer I’ve ever known secretly dreamt of an Anthony
Bourdain lifestyle. Travel the world and write about its most colorful pockets.
4. For seven years before the murder, Dee Dee and Gypsy Rose Blancharde lived in a small pink
bungalow on West Volunteer Way in Springfield, Missouri. Their neighbors liked them. “'Sweet'
is the word I’d use,” a former friend of Dee Dee’s told me not too long ago. Once you met them,
people said, they were impossible to forget.
5. Should you go with a free platform like WordPress or a paid platform like Squarespace? That
depends on how much control you want over your websiteand how big you want to go:
6. This photo is of Becky and her Dad in her wedding car. I love a couple of things about this
photo. One, it was a beautiful moment. I love eye contact as it shows connection between
people. And it’s those connections that make wedding photography for me. As a father myself
I can’t imagine how it must feel looking at your daughter on her wedding day.
7. You will look at your personal engagement with your community, culture, family, education,
and other direct spaces you have occupied. You may pick an event from your past, either
positive or negative, dramatize it, and then explore it with the purpose of coming to some kind
of statement, or insight, about how life works, according to you.
8. As I sit down to reflect on my time in the English major at Berry, I’m roughly three months
removed from my last English class. At the moment, I’m in the middle of a semester-long
student teaching experience at Armuchee High School, finishing out my Secondary Education
minor and preparing for the “real world” of teaching that awaits me after May 10th.
9. Hi, I’m Khayelen Isabel Hontario. I lived in New Jersey for 3 years and currently living in New
York. I am personal secretary of one of the biggest company in US.
10. "The barber was cutting our hair, and our eyes were closed—as they are so likely to be... Deep
in a world of our own, we heard, from far away, a voice saying goodbye. It was a customer of
the shop, leaving. 'Goodbye,' he said to the barbers. 'Goodbye,' echoed the barbers. And
without ever returning to consciousness, or opening our eyes, or thinking, we joined in.
'Goodbye,' we said, before we could catch ourselves."—E.B. White "Sadness of Parting."
I was saved from sin when I was going on thirteen. But not really saved. It happened like
this. There was a big revival at my Auntie Reed's church. Every night for weeks there had
been much preaching, singing, praying, and shouting, and some very hardened sinners had
been brought to Christ, and the membership of the church had grown by leaps and bounds.
Then just before the revival ended, they held a special meeting for children, "to bring the
young lambs to the fold." My aunt spoke of it for days ahead. That night I was escorted to
the front row and placed on the mourners' bench with all the other young sinners, who had
not yet been brought to Jesus.
My aunt told me that when you were saved you saw a light, and something happened to you
inside! And Jesus came into your life! And God was with you from then on! She said you
could see and hear and feel Jesus in your soul. I believed her. I had heard a great many old
people say he same thing and it seemed to me they ought to know. So I sat there calmly in
the hot, crowded church, waiting for Jesus to come to me.
Now it was really getting late. I began to be ashamed of myself, holding everything up so
long. I began to wonder what God thought about Westley, who certainly hadn't seen Jesus
either, but who was now sitting proudly on the platform, swinging his knickerbockered legs
and grinning down at me, surrounded by deacons and old women on their knees praying.
God had not struck Westley dead for taking his name in vain or for lying in the temple. So I
decided that maybe to save further trouble, I'd better lie, too, and say that Jesus had come,
and get up and be saved.
