Students at Dapitan City National High School, Dapitan City, Philippines supported students at Alternative Education Center, Odessa, TX to create truisms for the alternative students' essay writing activities. Asian students provided drawings from their editorial cartooning lesson in Social Studies under the mentorship of Mrs. Arcita Melendrez. AEC students used the drawings to create truisms to write their expository and persuasive essays as practice exercises for their first semester test in English. Using a truism to write an essay is inspired by Gretchen Bernabei’s kernel essay structure.
