Class Description

Description

What you'll learn in this essay writing class:

Everyone has a story. Now, it's time to share yours.

Personal essays expose what makes us human. From fundamental truths about life to stories that illustrate the sheer absurdity of the world around us, our experiences shape us and help better understand one another — and ourselves.

This class offers insight into the personal essay ideation process and will help writers draw out stories to craft into a narrative format. Open to all levels, we'll help you structure your essay and give you tips to make it as compelling as possible.

We'll cover:
  • What makes a standout personal essay.
  • Topic generation.
  • Elements of a personal essay.
  • Writing a great introduction.
  • General writing tips.
Bring a pen and paper as this class will involve brainstorming and ideation.

School Notes: OUTSIDE FOOD & DRINKS ARE NOT ALLOWED. QED has coffee, tea, soda, beer & wine plus snacks and pre-made wraps and sandwiches available.
