"This I Believe"

"This I Believe" began in the 1950's as a radio program that featured essays from famous politicians, corporate leaders, teachers, and even high school students being read by their authors. These essays explored core beliefs about faith, life, or whatever was of utmost importance to the writer. Throughout our upcoming unit we will study these essays to determine how authors use specific narrative details and their own author's voice to create dynamic and interesting writing. Each of you will then have the opportunity to write a narrative essay of your own where you can share your most steadfast beliefs.
