Students will explore a type of writing, creative writing, expository essays, persuasive essays, etc. From this they can find out the structure that a particular type of writing may follow, and from this structure come up with their own mnemonic device for remembering that structure. This could be beneficial when encountering a test, standardized or not, that requires them to write a paper utilizing a specific type of essay.
For example: Expository essays follow this format roughly:
Capture interest
Introduct topic
Make a claim/thesis
Body
Conclusion
A mnemonic device for this: Can I Make Butter Cookies?
Students could come up with as many as they want, but as few as three or four.
