Creating Your 2021 Essay Plan for Your Juniors (NYC & CA)— Evening Session

What we covered

  • Who will do what? Will it be just you, or will you partner with your English dept, for example? (I’ll share some best practices for getting everyone on the same page.)

  • How will you engage with students? Boot Camp over several days? Curriculum over several weeks? I’ll share some different options for what has (and hasn’t) worked for me leading essay workshops over the past 15 years.

  • Where will you lead it? Virtually or in-person? I’ll go over some pros and cons for each.

  • When’s the ideal time? I’ll share four different models from four different schools I’ve worked with recently.

  • Why? This is under-discussed, but I strongly value setting an intention, as it can help shape other other decisions. (I’ll lead you through an exercise to help you set yours.)

  • What’s your next step?
