Courage Consortium 1: Write a Polished Collegiate Essay
Join a weekend workshop to learn simple, effective writing practices necessary for college essays and the work world! The College Coach’s argumentative writing protocol supports learners in their college application essays, on standardized tests, in resume writing, and in the academic classroom. Workshops occur over three sessions of four hours each.

We focus on:  
    ● The college application essay.
    ● Argumentative nonfiction essays used in Social Science and Science courses.
    ● Argumentative English literature essays.

By the time a session is complete, students have stronger grasps on written voice, MLA and APA styles, research practices, essay organization, and argumentative reasoning. The College Coach’s workshops aid students of all ages, from high school to graduate level studies.
