In preparing to draft your own college essays, read some successful samples online. Get an idea for what they include, how they are organized, and what they reveal about each student.
Read as many as you can in a class period, and select two that you like to share with the class. Print a copy of each so we can read them together and discuss what makes them work--what makes them good writing.
Try these two sites out first:
From Johns Hopkins University.
From Connecticut College.
From Tufts.
From Hamilton College.
Feel free to check out the websites of some colleges you have interest in--and see if they have a page dedicated to successful college essays.
Print two selections for class for tomorrow. Make copies for your classmates if possible.
