Who am I? Writing College Essays: Gr. 9-12
Writing essays for college applications can seem like a chore. It doesn't have to be this way! In fact, writing your college essays can be a chance to define your values and a way to begin college with a clearer understanding of who you are as a person. In this course, we will craft college application essays from seed to full bloom. We will engage in brainstorming, drafting, peer-consulting, and editing--all while considering ourselves as human beings in the college application process. Each student will be offered one final review of their essay with comments by Corey, the instructor.
