A woven essay combines three styles
of writing on a common theme. A pause separates each style with enough blank
space to give the reader time to absorb the writing.
For example, a focus on nature might
begin with two friends discussing an environmental issue. After a pause the
writing moves to an interview with a naturalist or comments on a quotation from a nature
writer.
After another pause a poem reveals an
emotional aspect of nature. Following more white space, the essay concludes
with a personal reflection on the subject. The reader gains information about
the subject with each strand of the weave.
Select
three different styles of writing. Choose: journal entries, a poem, fable, personal narrative,
dialogue, or anecdotes.
Approach the subject by using three
writings in sequence with paragraph breaks.
End with power and comments that will stay with the reader.
