FLEX_RAW for Summer 2015 Intensive Workshop (i.e., not suitable for young children or weak minds)

Weekly 3-hour session (on Fridays)

Minimum attendance: 4 sessions (i.e., weeks)

Each session follows SEEDs 3-step methodology designed to develop analytical writing skills for the Essay Option on the New SAT.

FORMAT DESCRIPTION

step 1 Read

Students read 3 pre-selected long essays or passages. Reading selections

cover a range of topics that are of historic relevance, represent a

paradigm shift in thinking, or discuss a significant contemporary issue.

step 2 Analyze

After reading, students engage in open discussion. An instructor then guides

students on how to not only break down each reading selection for analysis but also analyze each

selection in different ways.

step 3 Write

Each student then selects one of the three reading selections for analysis and proceeds to write a full-length essay that demonstrates clear and logical thinking and precise use of

language.
