College App Essays!
For the past two weeks I've been teaching a summer program course at Yokohama International School--Essay Writing for College Applications. I had ten students each week, with most taking the course for the full two weeks.
I LOVE teaching this intensive writing course in which students spend 10 days focused on reading, discussing and drafting personal essays.
And this was one diligent group. Everyone on time to class every day. Each assignment completed with gusto. No dip in energy midway through the second week. Everyone powered through and the growth was incredible, the resulting essays daring and original. Oh, colleges and universities, you have some powerful stories and students coming your way.
All told, this amazing class wrote 55 essays plus 20 revisions.
And I held 50 one-to-one writing consultations.
Whew! Time for summer break.
