Writing Prompt (Analyzing a Concept Essay)
1. A concept can be an abstract idea (e.g., dating), a phenomenon (e.g., raves), or a process (e.g., parthenogenesis). Successful concept essays are incremental, adding knowledge layer by layer and building information at a pace that is neither so fast as to lose readers nor so slow as to bore them.
2. Review an example of an "Analyzing a Concept" essay, "What It Means to be Creative," by S.I. Hayakawa, in chapter 5 of the textbook. In this essay, the author moves beyond a basic description of the concept of creativity to break down this concept to show the audience the complexity of the creativity.
3. View "The Writing Process" for guidance on the process of writing an essay.
4. Choose a concept to analyze and explain this concept to your classmates.
