Through grades nine through twelve, you will be given a large variety of different high school essay prompts.  No matter whether you are a freshman, a sophomore, a junior, or a senior, your high school teachers are trying to teach you some very important things about writing.  Early on in your high school career, they are trying to teach you technical writing.  You will learn about punctuation, grammar, flow, structure, and even spelling, but what you learn will be much more in depth than what you were taught during elementary and middle school.  As you continue on, however, your teachers have something much different in mind.  Namely, they are preparing you for the essays and research papers you will be faced with in college.  As such, they seek to teach you the fundamentals of persuasive, expository, and personal essay writing.  So, how about we take a look at a few such prompts?

Today we are going to discuss the benefits of writing prompts, namely by taking a look at several research paper examples.  Prompts are extremely beneficial in any number of ways.  When we reach a certain age, they may seem a little unnecessary.  After all, these are things that we have to deal with when we are in grammar school and middle school – and sometimes in high school as well.  We generally view them as tedious, but then, all school and homework assignments are rather tedious, aren’t they?

Persuasive essay prompts are actually devices which can help you in almost every facet of literature and writing.  Naturally, they can help you to craft better essays and research papers, as well as term papers, theses, research proposals, and dissertations.  They can also help you create solid yet interesting topics for your research papers et. al.  There is no disputing those facts.  However, they can also help in your personal writing.  After all, in writing a poem, a short story, a book, you do have to persuade your readers to go along with the tale, do you not?  Besides, personal writing does not always mean fiction; some of us may go on to write articles and essays in professional journals, to write anthologies, text books, examples of papers, et cetera.
