This easy to use program enlightens students to the power of expression through story, humor, music, and interactive activities. This Installation Guide provides information regarding installation on your computer or network.

Step 4: When all four strategies are completed, go back to the main screen and complete the activities under During and After.

Be sure to enter a unique name for each set, so it is obvious to your students which set they should select. I.E. Mrs. Smith s 4th Period. Once you have created a name for a question set, the next step is to write individual questions for students to answer. Essay Express allows you to create one question for each strategy.the students will be able to access one question at the end of every strategy section under the Notebook Icon, for a total of nine questions.this way Essay Express allows you to customize what the students are learning in the CD to your specific lesson plans. ***Note: Be sure to hit save each time you add a new question! 10
