Online Summer "Class": College Essay Writing

Post date: May 23, 2012 6:35:28 AM

Rising G12 students have the opportunity to work on college essays/personal statements over the summer by joining an online "group class" on Edmodo. Each week starting May 31, I will post a short writing exercise that students can respond to. You should go to Edmodo.com and enter the group code "fhymtb" to join.
