Schedule a Free ConsultationEver wonder what your teacher REALLY means when they ask you to “revise”? Find out (and maybe improve your English grade) in the Art of Revision!
Locations: Los Altos, Palo Alto, Menlo Park
Cost: $100/hr.
Recommended hours: 4-5 (1.5 hour sessions)
Goals:
Teachers love asking students to revise, but the process itself often stumps them. Revision just means proofread, right? Nope! Revision is truly that—re-enVISIONing their writing in a fresh and critical way. But it’s not an easy process, as all writers will attest; in fact, it takes a lot of practice!
In this course, students will explore texts from established writers that reflect how a story, essay, or poem transforms from its first draft to its last. We’ll read examples of writing at various stages of the revision process, and then students will use their own writing as source texts as we go from rough draft to polished product.
Students who stay actively engaged in the learning process during the summer perform better during the school year.
