FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 11 • 5-7PM

Session 1 • Finding Your Four UC Application Topics

In this session I’ll show you:

How to find four solid topics,
How to make sure your topics are good ones, and
How to make sure you don’t leave money on the table / make sure all the awesome parts of you are showing up on your UC application.

Homework: Decide on Your Four UC Application Topics

SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 12 • 10AM-1PM

Session 2 • How to Stand Out on Each of the UC Personal Insight Questions

In this session, I'll analyze eight personal insight questions--one for each prompt--and teach you three ways to structure your story, no matter what you’re writing about.

For the final hour, I’ll be on call in the Virtual Classroom, standing by to answer your questions as you begin your drafts.

Homework: Complete drafts of your four personal insight questions.

SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 13 • 10AM-1PM

Session 3 • Taking it to the Next Level: Advanced Writing Techniques & The Great Personal Insight Question Test

In this session I’ll first share some techniques past students have used to make their writing shining, shimmering, splendid (yeah, that’s an Aladdin reference). Then we’ll look at what it takes to write a GREAT personal insight question so you can see how your essay stacks up before you work on finishing up your essay drafts.

Again, I’ll be on call during this time in the Virtual Classroom, standing by to answer your questions as they come up.
