When a few people in our class found that their essays didn't fit into one of the 3 catagories (Personal, Persuasive, or Informative), we, being the innovative geniuses that we are, came up with our own essay type: the Exploratory Essay. But this raises the question...
What makes a Good Exploratory Essay?
- define what you are "exploring"
- uses personal experiences/background knowledge
- goes farther than simple description
- exposes authors views/personality
- level of formality appropriate for topic
- some sort of conclusion/closure needed at the end
