1. Warming up by exploring the role of slow motion in film and writing
2. Offering you easy techniques for jumping around in time
As you read Charlotte's essay, try out the following:
- Mark any places where she moves around in time and space.
- What craft moves are you seeing? In other words, how is she accomplishing the jump from one temporal space to another?
- Take a look at your essay and try out the same exercise: Mark the places where you're moving around in time. What techniques can you borrow to make sure you're being crystal clear?
3. Drafting, editing, and conferencing
Note: If you're applying to a highly specific program, ask me for a copy of Sarah's college essay.
