Today we spent the entire period in the computer lab, officially beginning drafts of the college essay. I handed back your planning sheets, and today we just focused on getting down some serious raw material for your essay (a "vomit draft" as I like to call it...gross I know, but you get the idea). Just write whatever comes to mind relating to you topic - personal stories, specific scenes, whatever. Don't worry about making it perfect. We'll clean it up during our revising and editing stages during and after our workshops. If you were absent, Turn in a copy of whatever you have to me when you return, along with any questions or concerns you may have so that I can address them with each of you individually during in-class work time this week.
