Description

This no-fluff course cuts right to the chase and clarifies exactly who the admissions audience is and the key attributes what they look for.  Mini lessons will help student writers identify potential topics and draft an engaging introduction.  The teacher provides countless anecdotes and samples from her experience working with over 2,000 student writers.

This mini-course is all a student needs to get started.  It is a manageable, cost-effective, easy to follow course taught by an enthusiastic high school English teacher with 19 years of experience.

Module One: Who is the college admissions audience and what attributes do they look for?

Module Two: Selecting a memorable Topic (and brainstorm)

Module Three: Writing an introduction that WOWs

This course was designed for parents who do not know how to help their child start this process.  It is designed for those who prefer to take an online course for time flexibility.  It is also geared to help get students started and directed and enthusiastic about writing.

There is a bonus lesson included that provides instruction and guidance for the body and conclusion of the essay, but this course specifically is geared towards thinking of the topic and writing an introduction, the hardest part of it all.
