First Person Dispatch at Matador Change

by Alyssa on February 9, 2010

Thanks to Matador Change for publishing my piece on Why we should bring the ‘Teach English’ phenomenon home“.

I had the best time writing this article, and it’s so “me”–it’s something I truly, truly care about and feel that everyone should read/participate in at some point in their lives. Also, if you want some insight into my writing style–both narrative and research-wise–I believe this piece coalesces hard facts, a couple moving anecdotes, and straight up persuasiveness. (At least that’s what I was going for…don’t burst my bubble if I’m wrong!).

That’s exactly what you did in this article, and that’s what (in my opinion) the best writing does!

Great job with your piece at Change. It did exactly what you wanted it to: straight up facts, good anecdotes, and influence. Looking forward to reading more of your work!
