Wow. This article really opened my eyes up to some things, so I'm sure it will open up yours, too! Make sure you read every word. No blog post required for this one... just some food for thought!Top 10 Myths of College Admissions

 

 

Happy Wisdom Wednesday:

 

Today, we will discuss your homework readings.

I would like you to spend most of the period brainstorming and beginning to write down thoughts (it doesn't have to be perfect today) for your college essay.  You should know which prompt you are writing to.  Remember your audience and purpose.  Remember all of the descriptive and style techniques we learned last week.

 

After you have something down, in the next couple of days, we will spend time reading some sample essay from other students, as well as what admissions officers had to say about them.

 

Homework due tomorrow:  See yesterday's post.  Remember, choose three and comment.  Don't forget to label which articles you comment on.
