Crafting the Essay is a Writing course in the CTY program with no prerequisites. Its course code is CTE.

Course Desciption

Crafting the Essay is a writing course that teaches the fundamentals of writing a basic essay. Sounds boring, right? Nope... It's definitely FAR from boring. Unlike how you're taught to write in school, this course focuses on personal essays that can be humorous such as David Sedaris's stuff. Almost everything you think is questioned and you're constantly learning something new and being forced to think about your writing in a new light. This is known as a "pre-requisite" for Lit and the Arts/Pop-Culture, which you have to take for the light at the end of the tunnel, FICTION. Fortunately, it's not too bad. You do lots of reading and author analysis, but if you have a talented teacher (i.e Eric Song, SAR 2006, Tim Ross, CAR 2006, Ross Markonish, LAN 2003-2006, Angela Balcita, JHU 2006) the class can be a great way to start off the summer.
