Rebirth of the Essay Post ChatGPT
Description:
On the heels of ChatGPT being unleashed on the world, an essayist in The Atlantic claimed that the college essay was dead. It has been a year now. Is the essay really dead or have we moved on? Meet four educators who say that not only is the college essay NOT dead, it thrives. There are new ways to teach writing, these teachers say, and we’ve wanted to do it this way for years.
