Feature Writing: Mitch Albom on Writing

Read "On Writing" by Detroit Free Press columnist Mitch Albom and respond to it in writing by doing the following:


  1. Write a full paragraph (minimum 4-5 sentences) summarizing the message of the entire speech.
  2. Write one paragraph explaining the message of each of the three main parts of the speech:
    1. One paragraph on LEADS
    2. One paragraph on MIDDLES
    3. One paragraph on ENDINGS
  3. Select five representative passages that you either admire or feel make a strong impression:
    1. Copy and paste or retype each quote each quote on your blog.
    2. Write a response after each quote.  Why did you choose it?  Why did you like it?  Why did it leave an impression on you?  Do you agree or disagree with what he is saying?  Explain.
