High School Essay Intensive
A One-Day Seminar for High School age students and teachers
Saturday, October 31, 2009 8:30 – 3:30 pm
Cost: $50.00/participant (parents $25 if attending with student)
The High School Essay Prep class is an excellent way to get immediate experience and inside tips on how to do your best on the timed, 25 minute response to a prompt required on the new SAT test. Participants will actually write two full essays, carefully study and then apply the College Board evaluation criteria to sample essays, while receiving a detailed booklet of resources and lesson plans for continued practice.
Additionally, students will learn special structure and style tools for use in composing the college application "personal essay"—an entirely different type of writing task. The complete process will be presented: choosing the question, creating the outline, and polishing a final version. Participants will leave with a clear concept of the task, their own outline for an actual personal essay, and several new tricks and techniques to add to their repertoire.
Although this seminar is specifically designed for those who will be taking the SAT or submitting college applications within the next 1-2 years (and especially those teaching such students), it is also useful for general writing practice, tools and tips. It is open to all students, regardless of their experience with IEW courses or materials. A lot of actual writing is done during this six-hour class.

The above is an email I received from Andrew Pudewa.
I've some writing course on DVD that I purchased from the Institute for Excellence in Writing. I played the DVDs in the car and torture, I mean educate, my kids when we are on the road from Modesto to other CA destinations. Another "not so fun" things to do with my kids to balance out the "fun things to do with my kids".
I plan on signing up for this class with my child once she is in high school...
