Start Writing Now!

Users develop an idea and write their own short essay, consisting of an introduction, a two- to three-paragraph body, and a conclusion.

The web site provides questions that help to guide users step by step through pre-writing, writing, organizing, editing, rewriting, and publishing.

Completed essays may be transferred to a word processing program, HTML editor, or e-mail application.

This web site is based on the popular writing skills program, Essay Punch. The complete Essay Punch program teaches students to write persuasive, informative, and descriptive essays.

The current topic asks students to write a persuasive essay in response to the following situation.

A teacher, a student, and a member of the town council appear on a local TV talk show and debate whether television does more good than harm, or more harm than good. The program's host invites the audience to write in with their views.

This topic comes from the "persuasion" section of Essay Punch.

Periodically we will change the essay topic that is presented on the web site. If you have any suggestions or requests, please contact us.
