College Essay Boot Camp- Last Day!

IMPORTANT UPDATE!
I have moved your deadline for the college essays to TUESDAY, 9/12 to give you one more day to work!

If you finish your essay in class today, you can create your display board.  If not, we will create your display board next week on Wednesday.

College Essay Work Time
If you need more time to complete your final revisions, now is the time!  You can revise, refine, proofread, conference with me, or do whatever else you need to do to finish up your essay.

WHEN YOU FINISH, do the following...

DP Update​:  DUE WEDNESDAY, 9/13

1. Write 1 paragraph about your revision in your College Essay.  Talk about one specific way that you grew as a writer between your first and final drafts of your College Essay.  In this paragraph, you should include:
   • How you grew (what skill improved?)
   • What it was like before (give a specific example- you could quote an early draft of your essay here!)
   • What feedback you got that pushed you to revise
   • Evidence of your growth in this area (again, you should quote the final draft of your essay here!)
   • Explanation of what you did to make this growth happen- what was your process?
2. Create a tab for your college essay.  It can be within your Humanities class tab, or can be separate.  Include the information from your Display Board, the full text of your college essay, and the one paragraph reflection.
