College Application Essay (Narrative Essay) Assignment
For the past several years, all students in English classes at MTHS have written a common essay – specifically, a narrative essay modeled after the essays that most universities require of their applicants. This year is no different, so here is the assignment specifically for this year’s essay along with a copy of the Narrative Essay evaluation rubric and a few helpful tools. We’ll talk more about this assignment in class, but be warned that this assignment will need to be done mostly outside of class time, and the deadline is firm.
Enjoy! After all, this could be considered your first official step in preparing for your academic life after high school.
