An effective personal essay includes:
The writer’s voice
An attention grabbing intro
Proper use of grammar and usage and mechanics
Maybe the writer’s own personal experiences
A clear and engaging message, but also complex exploration
of ideas
Lucid organization of ideas
Use of figurative language: simile, metaphor,
personification, description
Clear and purposeful syntax
Connections to multiple and varied examples
An organic structure that is dependent upon purpose,
content, writer and message
Effective transitions
