โถ The biggest struggle students have with the college essay is getting started! The best way to do that is to take this class or the self-paced version. These two classes build a foundation, and we will make great progress here!

โท The next problem a student has is developing the idea and fleshing it out as a personal narrative. In this class, students have 1-1 time with Mrs. Lemons in breakout rooms during workshop time. They also get two additional 1-1 sessions at no additional charge whenever they need it! If they need more, it’s available at a discounted rate. Just ask. (linked below). Students get to talk through their ideas, and our questioning technique helps them generate ideas. It is awesome to see students get over this massive hurdle! To meet 1-1 or with a small group of students, send in a request to Mrs. Lemons in the contact form to your left.
โธ After that, students need help with revisions and edits. We can do this over email for as long as they need (included free with the cost of this class). Included in the price of all our college essay classes is unlimited, ongoing email support!
โน Once that’s done, it’s time to fine-tune and add some wow factor to the essay. For example, students may need help with descriptive writing, figurative language, blending narrative elements, and crafting sentences that stand out from almost all other high school writers.
๐ Students, you will learn how to research your audience and how to prepare, draft, revise, and edit an essay to get the results you want. Class time involves direct instruction with a dash of inspiration, and you will have individual workshop time with feedback from the instructor. Explicit instruction includes the following:
๐๐๐ฒ ๐ญ: ๐๐๐ฏ๐๐ฅ๐จ๐ฉ ๐ ๐๐จ๐ฉ๐ข๐
Learn 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 week includes guidance through a writing guide with video teaching, brainstorming, and two sample essays. They send their ideas to the teacher, who gives feedback.
๐๐๐ฒ ๐ฎ: ๐๐ก๐จ ๐๐๐ซ๐๐ฌ? ๐๐จ-๐๐ก๐๐ญ?
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. They send their organizational plan to the teacher, who gives feedback.
๐๐๐ฒ ๐ฏ: ๐๐ซ๐๐๐ญ ๐๐๐ฒ!
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. They communicate with their teacher, who gives feedback on their organization, and they finally start drafting.
๐๐๐ฒ ๐ฐ: ๐๐ก๐ ๐๐จ๐ง๐๐ฅ๐ฎ๐ฌ๐ข๐จ๐ง, ๐๐๐ฏ๐ข๐ฌ๐ข๐จ๐ง๐ฌ, & ๐๐๐ข๐ญ๐ฌ- ๐๐ก๐ ๐๐จ๐ฐ ๐
๐๐๐ญ๐จ๐ซ!
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.
๐ฏ Students will share their final drafts with their instructor, who will continue to help edit beyond the conclusion of this class until they have one polished essay, ready to send! This may extend for weeks. This unlimited, ongoing support is free of charge.
