Will did a wonderful job completing his Colorado Wild Fire essay. He did a final edit and completed this essay in class. He is very proud of his ability to revise and edit and has a greater understanding of the need to revisit his writing in order to make it more clear. Next, we discussed the common application essay prompts. He then began working on a brainstorm activity. This activity is designed to help students reflect and choose a writing prompt that is relevant and best helps create a total picture of their attributes. Some parts of the brainstorm need input from family and friends, so Will needs to complete it over the weekend and bring it back on Monday of next week. He is excited about his college visits, and I suggested that he take some notes while he is visiting in case he needs to complete additional essays for particular colleges. I hope he enjoys his visit to Lynn University.
