Sharpen Your Writing Skills this Summer in Mastering the Essay
Hoping to keep your English skills sharp this summer? Looking to avoid the dreaded summer ‘backslide’? Join us for our Mastering the Essay workshop! Read on for more information on why we think this course is great!
Deep Dive into Four Essay Genres
Over this multi-day course, students will have the opportunity to learn more about four types of essays: literary analysis, synthesis, argumentative, and narrative. For each genre, students will learn how to organize, write, and revise their writing. All these genres of essays are important in high school and beyond, so getting the extra practice over the summer will put students ahead!
Receive Individual Feedback
Writing Coaches at Options are here to give students personalized feedback on their writing without the pressure of marks. This course is a great example of this. Students will write multiple essays, receive feedback, and implement the revisions to produce a strong final essay.
Connect with Other Students
Peer review is such an important part of writing and learning. Over this course, students will have the opportunity to discuss their interpretations of literary texts, their opinions on relevant topics, and their questions about writing. Students learn the most from each other, and our workshops try to incorporate as much collaborative and interactive learning as possible.
Mastering the Essay runs three times this summer: July 25-28, August 15-17, and August 30- September 1. We hope to see you at whichever session best fits your summer schedule!
