In this sense, the essay is a very useful written resource in the teaching strategies of teachers to encourage a series of literary resources in students with a critical and written sense, here a series of very important experiences are combined to expand knowledge where obviously they are thinks argues and then translates into writing
In this order of ideas, the essay can be defined as: a prose writing, generally brief, that exposes without systematic rigor, but with depth, maturity and sensitivity, a personal interpretation on any subject, be it philosophical, scientific, historical, literary, ect.
In this context, this type of resource is essential in the strategies or activities of the students because through this resource different essential contexts are learned to develop thought, studies, meditations and ramblings.
It is appropriate to point out that the text written in Bernárdez's opinion is conceived as:
the fundamental communicative linguistic unit, a product of human verbal activity, which always has a social character, is characterized by its semantic and communicative closure, as well as by its deep and superficial coherence, due to the communicative intention of the speaker to create an integral text
(Bernárdez in Barrera and Fraca, 1999, p. 19)
This type of resource helps students meet the highest expectations for writing literary essays. In addition, students are always motivated to write an essay about a shared story, a moving video that they watch and discuss together. With this work of shared experience as a base, the students of later learn to design, write and review interpretive essays about short stories.
In this context, this type of resource is essential in the strategies or activities of the students because through this resource different essential contexts are learned to develop thought, studies, meditations and wandering.
There are many students who have little knowledge about writing an essay; Due to the fact that many teachers ignore this resource within their didactic strategies, but the essay really has a lot to develop in the imagination and intellectual development of the students, since many of them confuse an essay with a report and each of them has their own literary rules
As Lapesa says, "his mission is to raise questions and point out ways, rather than to settle firm solutions, that is why it takes on an aspect of pleasant rambling"
In another sense, it is appropriate to point out that students also confuse and have doubts when writing a written work about a topic with the essay. For example, many ask when preparing the essay if it has an introduction, development and conclusions; It seems that the student already has this type of work mechanically without meditating or exercising thought
That is why the teacher must handle this resource since it acquires its characteristics; for the formal boundaries of the essay are imprecise. In the way a topic is exposed and judged, it borders on scientific work, didactics and criticism. This is separated from the previous ones in that it does not follow a rigorous and systematic order of exposition, nor does it intend to exhaust the matter, nor provide firm solutions. The personal and subjective, the point of view that the author assumes when dealing with the subject, acquires primacy in the essay. The individual note, the feelings of the author, the loves, likes and dislikes of him. In this way it is what defines and characterizes it, bringing it closer to lyrical poetry.
There are different types of essays and this textually is a writing that must be interpreted clearly where it has rules such as: introduction, development and conclusions but in a tacit way; In other words, the aspects indicated will not be mentioned but the author will highlight them in the writing, so that when the reader reads certain rules that although not literally indicated, it is understood because it carries a context of exposure coupled with the rules that an essay must carry
It is important to note that the trial is characterized by:
free structure, synthetically and relatively short in length unlike a report or other work
Its thematic variety. Ideas of all kinds of philosophical, scientific, moral, aesthetic, literary ect can be presented.
His careful and elegant style, without reaching the affectatio
Its varied tone, which responds to the particular way the author sees and interprets the world, life, nature, human beings and himself. The tone can be deep, poetic, satirical, ironic, ect.
The amenity in the exhibition, which stands out over the systematic rigor of this
This resource is very emotional and significant for students because they highlight various strengths for their meaningful learning and this is used at the basic and university level, in addition, the essays are also widely used at a professional and academic level in both educational and social institutions, commercial policies ...
In my opinion; I believe that the essay is an elegant and significant didactic strategy for the development and critical thinking of students, it is not missing from my didactic bag of activities since I am convinced that the student through this resource has the opportunity to select topics that they know and that they have also made a deep impression on him where we also give him the opportunity to express his feelings without departing from the norms and rules that we guide him when dealing with composition and the art of writing
