4 lessons//2 Weeks
Week 1Lesson 1𝐃𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐥𝐨𝐩 𝐚 𝐓𝐨𝐩𝐢𝐜Learn what colleges and universities look for in college essays. Students begin brainstorming their essay's topic, audience expectations, and how their strengths fit their prospective school. Students develop a topic idea to illustrate those character traits in a story that is narrow, appropriate, and engaging. They go through a 1-2 hour exercise just to develop a story idea! This lesson includes guidance through a writing guide with video teaching, brainstorming, and two sample essays.Lesson 2𝐖𝐡𝐨 𝐂𝐚𝐫𝐞𝐬? 𝐒𝐨-𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭?The instructor inspires them to think deeply about who they are and the significance of their essay's topic. They watch video teaching, read two sample essays, and have a little Hollywood inspiration to go deeper into their topic for its significance. Students complete more exercises to get them thinking deeper.Week 2Lesson 3𝐃𝐫𝐚𝐟𝐭 𝐃𝐚𝐲!This is an "ah-ha" module! Students finally start to understand how to be transparent and authentic and to communicate the significance of their experience. Again, they see on film how to go deeper, read a sample essay, and have video teaching how to make their essays memorable. They finally draft their essays now that they've done the deep thinking and planning.Lesson 4𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐜𝐥𝐮𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧, 𝐑𝐞𝐯𝐢𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬, & 𝐄𝐝𝐢𝐭𝐬- 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐖𝐨𝐰!Now that they have a draft, they learn how to write a conclusion that brings closure, satisfaction, and an emotional connection with their reader. When complete, they revise and edit their essays for sentence fluency. They learn some simple tricks to use in the revision process to make their sentence structure stand out from the rest.
Students will learn how to write a college application or scholarship essay that has a memorable impact on college admissions personnel. Students learn how to illustrate their greatest strengths through an interesting story, and they will finish the week with an essay.
