ONLINE SESSIONS

• Each workshop is broken down into 4 online sessions, each lasting 1.5 hours and designed to help students work systematically through the process of writing their common application personal essay, including leading students through outlining, drafting, and then revising the personal essay.

​

• During each sessions, Kris will spend part of the time teaching steps in the process of creating highly effective personal essays, including introducing students to practical principles for crafting clear, engaging, and compelling prose. The remaining time will be used as structured work time for the students, with Kris providing real-time feedback or their writing.

​

• Each small-group workshop will be limited to 10 or fewer students to ensure the student-staff ratio enables Kris to engage with each student during both the instructional and structured worktime portions of each online session. 

​

ADDITIONAL EDITS

Outside of the online sessions, Kris will provide four rounds of edits on their personal essay: on the outline, 1st, 2nd, and final drafts.
