Help, short essay!". Browsing the Internet is easy to find this expression: It expresses the concerns and uncertainties of our students. Of course, this new type brought confusion among students and professors. During school hours it is difficult to address this issue, but even more difficult to have the time for the written exercises. So this year, seizing the opportunity offered by the Region of Sardinia, we have set a series of lectures that addressed the topic. A kind of writing and reading workshop during which they were read a few short essays "copyright."
The short essay states that one can begin to produce a text only after you have read other texts, they are made of ideas and they are sorted into clear and consistent manner. It is not about opinions! It is ideas, it argued.
You can not then start writing immediately, just including traces; you start writing only after it has collected the necessary documentation and it is included, then the formula is a thesis, and then selecting among all those documents that will be a functional demonstration and the articulation of the argument.
In addressing such work is has available a large amount of material, however, there is something more, since it must be made available for the writing of an essay short of intuitive skills, reading and re-use of documentation, of conciseness, and not of less than creativity, to substitute for common writing skills and composition.
The student will have to work in the construction of a thesis, which response to the chosen title, and writes properly selecting the documents, and articulating clearly the arguments.
