The (Epcot) Essays Page:

"Essay" means a writing in which you express your opinion. Yeah!

Originally essay meant a writing in which you used the writing to explore an idea.

I, personally, like to comine these two meanings: a writing in which I explore an idea in order to form an opinion.

What I wrote in the Ideas Section are essays. If you read any of them, let me know what you think.

The latest essay I'm working on has to do with teaching essay writing--if you have any experiences you'd like to share, or ideas about this topic, I'd love to see them. Thanks,

"Essay" also means a kind of assignment you get a lot. Sigh.
