The first thing that strikes you about The Secret DNA of Writing Essays -- And Everything Else, is the fact that it totally goes against he conventional methods of essay writing which you have taught your students so far! For that reason, if for nothing else, you start reading the e-book.

The Book

And ….you’re hooked! The revolutionary approach to writing essays is something which totally intrigues you and you are bound to try it out, just as an experiment. Or at least, this is exactly what happened to me, when I started reading it and guess what? I was more than pleasantly surprised! Shocked would be a better word to describe how I felt as I started getting better and better quality essays from my students.

Writing essays is never easy for students, especially those in high school who look upon it as one of the necessary evils which they have to stick with just to get through their SATs. But, with this form of writing, quite a number of my students who weren’t too fond of essay writing have actually started taking an active interest in it.

I don’t shrink from giving all the credit for this drastic improvement to Bill Drew, the author of this amazing book. Why? It’s quite simple, really, he is totally against rhetoric! What is even more surprising is someone like me, who was hooked on to rhetoric, has started giving priority to other things.

The Method

I now encourage my students to actively read in class and more non fiction than fiction, so they have facts and figures fresh in their minds all the time. This really does help them when they are writing their argumentative style essays. Yep, this is something which not only keeps them occupied, but also strengthens their essays quite a bit.

There is a technique to understanding the message contained within the pages of this book. You need to first read it and understand it properly, after that, once you actually "get" it, you can find unique ways of implementing it all on your own! Oh yeah, bill has made that easy for you too!

"How to write essays for high school students?" is a question which every interested high school kid has Googled, but they have never really got satisfactory answers to that one, well, my friend, it’s time to answer their queries, it’s time to start teaching them the methods advocated in "The Secret DNA of Writing Essays -- And Everything Else".

Bill Drew has done a great job, no doubt, but as someone who has been trained the conventional way, it was quite a bit hard or me to adopt his methods at first. But, now, having gotten the hang of it, I can safely say that I find it much easier to teach my students the basics of composition and essay writing with the help of this tool! Try it, you won’t regret it.
