How many types of essays are they?

  1. Persuasive/argumentative essay. Makes a claim or takes a position and backs it up with statistics, expert opinions, and other evidence. You may review an opposing review and explain why it is wrong and you are right.
  2. Comparison essay. Demonstrates similarities and differences between two topics.
  3. Descriptive essay. Explains the what, why, how, when, and where of a topic. For example, a descriptive essay about a tree would explain what it is made of, why it grows, when it grows, and so on.
  4. Evaluation essay. Describes a thing or event and explains its importance, value, and/or relevance. Did you like this thing? Why?
  5. Narrative essay. Tells a story in a sequence of events. There should be some point, lesson, or idea gleaned from this narrative to make the essay meaningful.
