  14. “This I Believe”: Common Errors • Examples • Stay away from general examples • Stronger essays use personal and specific examples • Sometimes just one strong example is better than a lot of general ones • Your example should be connected to your philosophy and prove it

  15. “This I Believe”: Common Errors • Spelling • Try reading your essay BACKWARDS to catch spelling errors (spell check doesn't catch everything!) • Word choice • NOOOOO “thing” • NOOOOO “you”

  16. “This I Believe”: Common Errors • Formatting • Title • Spacing between paragraphs • Tab to indent • Word count • No “This I Believe” in our title • A personal title, specific to your philosophy
