This post is ONLY for students serious about college-level reading and writing!
You've earned an A in the course. Congratulations, you've got the job! Welcome to the team, when can you start?
It's nice to hear these kinds of things, right? Or how about a letter in the mail that begins: "We are pleased to inform you of your acceptance to the university"?
What's going to set you apart from other candidates - in college, at your job, as you begin a career - will be your ability to WRITE AND SPEAK clearly and creatively.
George Orwell (more on him here ) has a famous essay called "Politics & the English Language" and I want you to read it. I want you to make a page in a notebook to write down all things he suggests to write with CLEAR MEANING and fresh, vivid metaphors.
On Friday, October 2 when we review your drafts for the first "into the light" essay, we will be able to talk about what Orwell recommends for your writing.
Here for the link to "Politics & the English Language"
