1. Due by 7:34 AM on October 26th to Turnitin.com. No late submissions. No excuses. You have already signed in to an account for summer reading.
2. Before beginning your work on your final draft, read through the following samples of suburb college admission essays. Reflect on the ultimate purpose of this paper. Think about how these samples achieve this purpose.
Sample #1 Connecticut College
Sample #2 Johns Hopkins University
Sample #3 University of Chicago
Think about the common thread between these essays. Is it the writing? Is it the voice? Is it the values that the author reveals? Is it all of these combined?
3. As you are looking at your own chosen draft, I would look at the narrative outline, again. Refresh on the appropriate, necessary structure.
4. Review the descriptive writing techniques and narrative writing technique notes.
5. Start the proofing process. Follow the same process that we have used in class. Be very thorough. Think about what your instructor has emphasized in our writing discussions. There are specific errors that are ranked under the "unforgivable" category... make sure that these have been weeded out!
6. Remember that the scoring of this paper will be an honest assessment of where your skills should be at this point in the semester, considering the instruction, assignments, practice, review, revision, etc. Present your BEST.
