I’m going to go boring on your today and read notes off a PowerPoint! Hooray! These are the notes from the Harvard book that I’ve been referencing.

Choose a college entrance essay prompt (from Apply Texas or elsewhere) and write to that topic. Aim for about 500 words, unless the prompt asks for something else.

I know some of you (my grade grabbers!) want to to go STRAIGHT to the rubric to see how to get an A! Well, cool your jets for a second. We are going to create our OWN rubric tomorrow based on what we talked about today. All the AP classes are going to make suggestions, and Mrs. James and I will flesh it out for you.
