Your view and template appear to be ok, as long as the 'tag' argument
is of a type compatible with the query.

I have never used PHP, so I have no idea what print_r does; however,
here are a few useful debugging techinques:
1) Does it work in a shell? ./manage.py shell provides a shell
environment that lets you try out queries before you use them in your
view. This can be used to check that your query works, and that there
are data to return.
2) Put some print statements in your view. The output of these
statements will appear in the development server log. Use these
printouts to validate that a) 'tag' is value of a type that can be
used in a query, and b) essay_list has entries that match the tag.
3) Put the {% debug %} template tag in your template. This will output
a whole lot of data about your template, context, etc.
Hope this helps.
Yours,
