Simi Valley, CA - High School Essay Intensive

Registration for the High School Essay Intensive is now open. Sharpen your SAT & College Application Essay Skills in a One-day Seminar for High School Students and Teachers at The Grace Academy, 1350 Cherry Avenue, Simi Valley, California 93065.
 
June 9, 2009 - PRLog -- Presenting live on Monday, July 6, 2009, 8:30–3:30 pm, Andrew Pudewa of Institute for Excellence in Writing will offer the High School Essay Intensive. This class is an excellent way to get immediate experience and inside tips on how to do your best on the timed, 25-minute essay portion of the SAT test. Participants will actually write two full essays. After careful study they will then apply the College Board evaluation criteria to sample essays, while receiving a detailed booklet of resources and lesson plans for continued practice.

Additionally, students will learn special structure and style tools for use in composing the college application "personal essay." The complete process will be presented: choosing the question, creating the outline, and polishing a final version. A participant will leave with a clear concept of the task, an outline for an actual personal essay, and several new tricks and techniques to add to his/her repertoire.

Although this seminar is specifically designed for those who will be taking the SAT or submitting college applications within 1–2 years (and especially those teaching such students), it is also useful for general writing practice. It is open to all students, regardless of their experiences with IEW courses or materials. A lot of actual writing is done during this highly motivating and informative course.

Cost: $50.00/participant; parents $25 if participating with student*
*Parents who wish to remain in the room but not participate may sit in the back, chairs and space available. Parents who wish to sit at a table, receive a handout, and participate in the class, should register for $25.

Some comments from past attendees:
"I really didn't want to come, but my mom made me, and I am soooo glad I did. It's really going to help me, and I'm not so worried about the SAT essay any more."

"I took the SAT last spring and did okay, but I'm going to do it again and go for a better score. With this new information, I'm very sure I'll do better on the essay portion."

"Mr. Pudewa’s seminar is like the rock concert of writing classes."

"I came to be with my son, but I actually had a lot of fun myself. I sure wish I knew some of this when I was going into college!"
