Learning the elements of the narrative essay and developing skills in English writing
The English-language narrative essay is one type of essay-writing in which the writer employs narration or a story to make a point, explain an experience, or persuade the reader.
In this course, we will be exploring the narrative essay, learn and understand what it is, and develop our skill in writing it. We will examine a couple of actual examples of the narrative form of essay to see how professional writers have employed the form. And as a final project, we will create our own narrative essay.
An essay is a piece of writing (usually short) that gives the author's own point of view on a topic that has become a major part of a formal education in the form of free response questions. Secondary and college are taught structured essay formats to improve their writing skills, and essays are used to judge the mastery and comprehension of course material. Students are asked to explain, comment on, or assess a topic of study in the form of an essay. As well, many colleges use essays as a means to select applicants for admission.

My name is Michael McIntyre (Dr. W.J. Michael McIntyre, if you want to be precise). I'll be your instructor in this course, and as we'll be spending a lot of time together over the several weeks, I thought it'd be nice if we got to know each other. I have been long involved in language education, writing & writing education. ...
Very interesting
its understandable and the content is easy to understand
This professor brought essay-writing back to me ... it's clear, and I was easily able to write my essay after chapter 1.
Also, by the end of chapter 9, I thought of good subjects for two narrative essays. Since I can't decide which to choose, I think I'll write both.
It was helpful to have the narrative essay broken down into it's component parts. There was quite a bit of repetition in the course, which could be considered helpful as repetition often leads to better retention. I didn't really learn anything new in the course, however I did enjoy it and it did solidify my understanding of what differentiates a narrative essay from a piece of fiction.
Yes, it is a good match so far. He is easy to understand. His voice is clear. His presentation of the subject is simple and motivating.
It was helpful for me. I came to know how I should speak or say the sentence or give the instruction to the listener.
Awesome class, with step-by-step approach! Love it!
