The Hermit-Crab Essay
The Hermit crab essay is a fun short form gaining in popularity—it’s an essay that borrows its structure from an ordinary, everyday source, such as a recipe, a crossword puzzle, or an advertisement. After looking at a few examples, students will create one themselves and share it with the class, heading out the door with a short hybrid hermit crab in their pockets.
