Project description:
MAKE SURE THIS IS TWO PAGES.
Peak Academic Performance SLP Reading Requirement: Please read the short article on Peak Performance. Describe a time when you experienced peak academic performance — a time when you felt totally connected to an academic environment and were inspired to learn.
Structure your essay in this way:
Introduction Paragraph (4-7 sentences):
1. An opening sentence that grabs readers’ attention and encourages them to want to read on. This might be a powerful anecdote, a lively quotation, a story, or even a question. The opening sentence does not have to reveal the main point (or even topic) of the essay.
2. A brief summary of the topic. The necessary background information can typically be provided in 3–5 sentences.
3. A concise thesis statement at the end of the paragraph. A thesis is one sentence and states the main point of an essay. A thesis is never in the form of a question.
