Does the thought of writing an essay give you anxiety? It doesn't have to; mastering this essential academic skill is easier and more fun than you think. If you're looking to get a head start on your personal statements and college essays, or would just like to refine your techniques to master the 10 page essay in no time, this workshop is for you. In this workshop, you will get a chance to work through the formats and conventions of several different types of essays from expository to epistolary, as well as develop your skills using persuasive evidence and literary interpretation. You'll also master the nuts and bolts of the five-paragraph format, which will help you craft strong essays under pressure on the SAT or on your college applications. This course examines a diverse sampling or writing styles and examples in order to enable students to see all the fun they've been missing out on in their previous essay-writing. Students will also have the opportunity to share and critique one another's work in a safe, friendly environment.
