When you thoughtfully complete the assigned work for this four week intensive, you will have the final draft of a personal statement/primary essay ready to submit with your college applications. During this four week workshop, we will focus on the key elements of a successful essay, mine your personal experience for a unique and engaging topic, and polish your writing so that it’s application-ready. Two times a week, I will provide assignments such as reading responses to example essays, brainstorming activities, and short writing exercises that will get you writing and build toward your final product.
This course will be online and asynchronous, but you will have the opportunity to meet with me live each week via Zoom for feedback, guidance, and answers to your questions. I strongly encourage students to take advantage of office hours in order to get the most personalized and meaningful guidance on their work. Working through Google docs, I will provide timely written feedback on weekly assignments to help your progress towards a final draft by the end of the four weeks. For seniors only.
