Monday - May 18
Assignments For This Week:
- Revise and Improve a THIRD College Application Essays (60 points)
- After completing this assignment, you should have THREE college application essays that are very close to being a final draft.
- 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 5/22 at midnight.
