Roadrunner Posted January 20, 2021 Share Posted January 20, 2021 Does anybody know of an online course that teaches how to write a personal essay? I don’t mean the common app essay. I know those workshops exist. CLRC was going to offer a writing course on this but didn’t get enough kids to run a course. I would love an alternative.

Lori D. Posted January 20, 2021 Share Posted January 20, 2021 Do you mean a personal narrative essay and creative nonfiction essay writing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Along these lines https://www.clrconline.com/essay-as-form-and-practice/ This looked so perfect for us. Any alternative? Resources? I don’t know how to even approach teaching a course like that so would rather outsource if possible. Sadly this course got cancelled.

Ah, so the focus is on essay writing of various types... a personal narrative essay; persuasive essays; and a college application essay, plus responding to several readings. Nice! Sorry, no. I can't think of a similar course -- most of the online classes I see either teach beginning essay writing, OR, they solely focus on one type of essay. And, none that I can think of include readings, except for the Brave Writer class: Essay Prep: Reading the Essay. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Momto6inIN Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 It's not online, and I know IEW isn't everybody's cup of tea, but their High School Essay Intensive description says Part 4 is titled Strategies for the Personal Essay. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
