Above is a link to Britainy Gober's blog on Feral Children. Her introduction is spot on, with excellent tone - it's conversational, funny, and surprising. The whole thing reads like a persuasive call to arms, written by someone really engaged in the subject- meaning, someone who cares enough to blog about it. (Sure, you guys were all forced to do this, but it's okay for your essay to read like you weren't!)

Jenna does a great job with genetic mutations- especially in her use of photos to illustrate her points.
