Gretchen Bernabei’s Introduction to Kernel Essays, Part 5: Truism Kernel

Students sometimes need help with writing. With any writing assignment, students often fail because they don’t have much to say, or their writing wanders around, or their main idea is not clear. Kernel essays prevent those problems before they start. This module will give you the kernel essay basics, including the background and pedagogy leading to the development of a kernel essay for students of the 21st Century. You’ll be writing your own quick lists, kernel essays and structures before you know it. For all the resources shown in the video and more, see Gretchen’s complete 12-hour course at TCEA () or visit .
