One of the Key Tasks you will need to be able to perform on the Grade 12 Literacy Assessment (and at Post-Secondary, and for Scholarships, and, and, and....) is writing an essay in a limited amount of time.
The purpose of this essay composition is to respond to a given prompt.
You can agree or disagree with the topic.
Your essay should have all of the following:
introduction with clear thesis
well-developed body paragraphs
clear conclusion
It should be 3-5 paragraphs long or about 500 words. This is a rough estimate; your ideas are much more important that the word count.
Be sure to include specific examples to support your thesis.
You may use ideas based on your own experience, the experience of others, your reading, your imagination, or from any aspect of your life.
Assessment will be based on the Scoring Guide for Composition (6-point scale)
Base XP: 60
