Intended for teachers, this monograph argues that, unlike the structured, formulaic "school" essay, personal essays in the manner of Michel de Montaigne lead students to explore their connections with ideas and texts. The monograph describes several strategies which use writing as a tool for critical thinking. The monograph contains the following chapters: (1) "The School Essay (Bad Memories of)"; (2) "The Case against Writing--Plato's Challenge"; (3) "'For it is myself that I portray': Montaigne's Legacy"; (4) "Invitations to the Essay"; and (5) "'I'm not going to talk about it'." Forty-three references and an annotated bibliography derived from searches of the ERIC database are attached. (MS)
