Name:
Personal Experience (PE) Response Activity
A strong response essay will often include a personal experience response where you connect your assertion idea and prompt evidence to the experience of yourself or someone from your social circle. The experience does not have to be the exact same experience; it can be something/someone in the abstract (something that is similar in some way). You must explain in some detail how your PE response is connected to the idea.
For the Leadership personal response essay, the Comparative and PE responses will be divided by paragraph (if you place your comparative response in one paragraph, the personal experience should be in the other). You will show your plan for the comparative response to the learning coach, so I would like you to share your plan for the PE response in this activity.
Think about the ideas that you plan to write about in your essay. Consider the paragraph key word idea that you WILL NOT write the comparative response for.
Answer the questions: Who in your social life is a leader that represents your assertion key word idea? Explain the connection between your idea and chosen leader with a few sentences.
Some things to consider:
The leader can be someone close to you (i.e. a teacher, parent, relative, coach, etc.) or yourself (when you were a leader or did something that required leadership).
It is helpful to think of one specific situation or event that demonstrates the idea.
The PE response can be something in opposition of the idea—it can show the opposite of what the idea is in order to explain what the idea is by showing what it is not.
The PE response must have a clear connection to the evidence from the prompt and the thesis/assertion key word ideas you are using. This connection must be explained.
