<p>Is anyone giving their essays a title? Is anyone not? I'm not sure what is usually done. Would the title contribute to the overall word count. Just curious...</p>
<p>My S did title his essay. It was only 6 words, so I am not sure if he counted it or not.</p>
<p>No one will care if your title is what brings you over the word count, however, my english teacher recommended that we do NOT title our essays unless we think it actually enhances the essay.</p>
<p>Reason: A title can create false expectations in the mind of the reader, and if the essay doesn't live up to those expectations, well...it can only be bad. If you don't title to begin with, you don't have to worry about that.</p>
<p>I haven't written my essay yet (not doing ED/EA), but i doubt i'll title it.</p>
<p>Has anyone else not titled their essay? I think that if I ttiled mine it might give too much away. But does this look lazy or unprofessional?</p>
<p>i did not title mine at all...</p>
