There’s not ONE right way to homeschool high school…or write that college application essay. With that in mind, here are some meaningful ways to make that assignment happen!
Make it a special *relieve the stress* summer project.
Once teens get this important project finished, the rest of the application process during the fall seems so much easier. Getting it done during the summer is a BIG help to lots of high school seniors. Offer an extra fun summer incentive to get the essay done.
Make it the first official writing project of the school year.
If you save it until fall, do it first thing. Get it off their plate. They can count it as one of their required writing projects! Take them out to lunch have a fun brainstorming meeting! Sometimes the hardest part is figuring out what to write about.
Use it in co-op.
If your homeschool co-op includes writing for the high schoolers, why not make it a co-op writing project. Even underclassmen can benefit with a practice run at a college application essay. We always say that *group suffering* makes stressful projects more fun! Misery loves company…well maybe. But either way knowing they are not the only ones writing can help with getting things done.
