 * ROTARY ESSAY CONTEST**


 * Before you begin your essay**, please read the three sample essays. We have had the honor of having three winners over the past years.

In 2006, Melissa Wall received honorable mention in the district competition; in 2007, Ethan Smith was the second prize winner for our district, winning $500; in 2010, Thomas Smyth was the first prize winner for our district, winning $1,000.


 * Alternate essay for seniors**: Write an essay about a good deed that you did for someone. Include how this made you feel and how it affected the other person or persons. Title your essay "Good Deed".

When done, submit your outline, rough draft, and final copy. **Print two copies of your final copy because one copy is for the Rotary.** The two final copies go on top, rough draft in middle, and outline on bottom. Remember to put proper page headings at the top of each of the three steps of the writing process. Example: Honors English.......................................Your Name Rotary Essay..........................................Period Outline....................................................Date
