Hey Glendon students!
G.U.E.S.S. is proud to be hosting essay-writing workshops every Friday for the next month. Everybody can come, and everybody should come! You can always get better at writing essays, and G.U.E.S.S. is run by passionate and knowledgeable English students who can give you some great pointers.
On November 6th, we’re going to be going through an overview of the academic essay. What is an academic essay? What are the expectations and rules? What should you include in the body, in the introduction, in the conclusion? This workshop will answer all these questions and more.
On November 13th, we’re going to focus on crafting a strong thesis, and on structuring the essay. The thesis is the central part of every academic essay, and a good structure really helps with readability and cohesion, so this is a crucial workshop.
On November 20th, we’re going to be going hard on citations, arguments, and analysis. This is the real meat of the essay— your ideas!
On November 27th, the final workshop, we’re going to be looking at sourcing. Finding good secondary sources, making a bibliography or works cited, figuring out MLA, APA, Chicago, all that jazz. The stuff the hard markers always get you on.
We hope to see you there!
