SAT Essay Writing Workshop
Local tutor, Martha Gilbert will offer hands-on essay workshops on January 7 or 8 for students who will be taking the SAT. Students will learn strategies to write an effective essay, from the zinger of an introductory sentence, the art of brainstorming and mechanics to writing a powerful and impressive conclusion. During each evening, students will have an opportunity to experience a timed practice on writing an effective essay and will get feedback on their essays. Martha has been an SAT/ACT tutor for 8 years. Her education has been at Wheaton, Trinity and Harvard. (Note: Sessions are offered regularly. Students may register for only one of the sessions- each of the sessions is identical). Pre-registration is required at 860-658-7663 or www.simsburylibrary.info. Free and open to all area students.
