Monday - May 4

 
One on One Check In With Mr. Spalding
If you have not yet met with Mr. Spalding (via Zoom), then please be sure to sign up for for either this Wednesday or this Friday (time slots range from 10:00 to 11:30).  The meeting will be approximately 10 minutes and we will look over current grades and the college application process (mainly college application essays and how they are going).  Link to sign up for one-on-one with Spalding
 
Assignments For This Week:
  1. Revise and Improve One of Your College Application Essays (60 points)
    • The assignment:
      • Select one of your college application essay rough drafts (could be a PIQ or a Common App essay....either is fine).  Do not delete the rough draft because you will be turning in the rough draft along with the new revised & improved essay.
      • Revise this rough draft essay and get it closer to being a final draft
      • Keep in mind the length of your essay:
        • UC PIQs should be a maximum of 350 words
        • Common App essays should be between 250 and 650 words (so if you should aim for 500 to 600 words.... I would not suggest submitting an essay with only 250 words unless it is absolutely amazing with only 250 words)
      • Moving an essay from rough draft to final draft takes time and requires reading the essay over and over many times.
      • Have someone proof read your essay for you and give you comments.  This will help you in improving upon your essay.
    • Submit BOTH your rough draft essay AND your revised essay to Schoology by Friday 5/8 at midnight.
