TTT 6.26.24 Writing College Admissions Essays: Can AI Writing Partners Help Level the Playing Field?

Join us in a conversation about the college admissions essay. We'll be asking when, how, and why we might make AI Writing Partners available to support students in the process of writing these "power genres." Kylie Frontczak, a graduate student of Jess Early's will be joining us. Kylie is in the middle of teaching her second, of two, weeks with students in a Young Adult Writing Project focused on the college admissions essay.
We will be re-thinking and revising AI Writing Partners for the College Admissions Essay in Kumospace.com/youthvoices on Wednesday, June 26th at 8E/7C/6M/5P. All invited!
Kylie is experimenting with using a set of 13 Writing Partners that we developed recently with Dr. Jessica Early based on her research and workshop designs that she published about a dozen years ago in "Demystifying the College Admission Essay Genre," Chapter 4 of Real World Writing for Secondary Students.
Join us as we hear feedback on these Writing Partners from Kylie,who has been using them with students in a summer camp at Arizona State University these last couple of weeks of June.
