English Classes: Timed Writing (Perseverance)

Read the information below.
“I think I can ― I think I can ― I think I can. ... I thought I could. I thought I could. I thought I could”

The Little Engine That Could
( ^ link to book ^ )

Although many people quit when things get difficult, others keep trying until they accomplish what they set out to do. Think carefully about this statement.

Write an essay exploring the role perseverance plays in success.

Be sure to
  • clearly state your thesis
  • organize and develop your ideas effectively
  • choose your words carefully
  • edit your writing for grammar, mechanics, and spelling
Time limit: one class period.
