How to write the worst essay ever... I noticed a student staring at a blank page for sometime.  I asked him if he needed any help.  He explained that he doe not like writing essays, and that he never understood the point of writing an introduction. I told him "I want you to write the worst essay ever". I told him to try writing the worst introduction, and that I would check in with him in about 5 minutes, after helping some other students. He ended up writing an introduction that was neither good nor bad, but it was a start.  As soon as we start to read bad writing, we immediately get ideas for what would make it better.  It informs us of what we need to make it good. However, to write the worst essay in the world, might be an even more difficult task than writing the best essay.
