This fall, we’ll gather a small group of 8th graders looking to hone their narrative and personal essay skills for upcoming admissions tasks. Whether they will be writing the Bard Assessment, a portfolio essay for Beacon, or an independent school (ISAAGNY) admissions essay for private schools, this workshop focuses on developing ideas and drafts for great essays. We’ll read past application essays, discuss approaches, analyze a variety of prompts, and craft responses to them.

Dates: Mondays 10/20 and 10/27
