We have compared the message about the struggles to success as they are shared in the song Let it Go from the movie Frozen with lyrics from the song Monster. In both, the main character (writer) achieves success. In both, they face their fears/demons to achieve it. This video is another piece of work detailing this struggle.
The assignment, Reading Workshop students is to write an essay about success. Please use the five paragraph essay format with introduction, body, and conclusion. Use at least one specific detail from each source. You may also use other resources. Be sure, at some point in the essay to include your "monster" and how success relates to your life.
Some things to consider:
1. What is your point/focus?
2. What do you want your readers to learn from your essay?
3. What opinion do you hope to share and convince your readers?
4. What details can you use to best back up your message?
5. How can you begin in a way that will hook your reader?
6. How can you end in a way that will leave your readers thinking about your message?
7. How can you best organize your essay to help the reader gain by reading and understanding your essay?
8. What (or how you say it) can you say to set your essay apart and make it the most meaningful?
9. Does your essay have a first person look at success in your life?
