Essay Test Responses

Competency #2: Critical Thinking & Creativity


What's an Essay Test Response?

An essay test response is on-demand writing. It offers learners the opportunity to demonstrate the depth and breadth of their understanding of one or more literary works and related research. It reflects the learners skills as a reader and a writer. 

Creating Your Essay Test Response

AI IS NOT AN ACCEPTABLE TOOL FOR THIS WRITING TASK.

On-Demand Writing 

To create evidence of your authenticity and originality...

  • Read and annotate critical lens/ research article. Add your name to this document. 

  • Review your reader's/viewer's responses (in your composition notebook). 

  • Add your name to the outline document. Complete a detailed outline and have this stamped. 

Ensure your digital work provides evidence of your authenticity and originality...

  • Open the identified Google Classroom assignment for this assessment. 

  • Use only the resources indicated in the Google Classroom assignment. 

  • Open the designated document and begin by transcribing (copying) your detailed outline, word for word. 

  • Build upon this outline - using the annotated critical lens, your reader's notebook, and copy of the designated literary work. Draft and craft until you have completed your essay. 

  • Return the hard copies of your stamped and annotated critical lens and your stamped outline to your course folder. 

NOTE:  Your on-demand  essay will be invalidated if you do not provide evidence of authenticity and originality, as indicated in these directions.  You will have to start all over again - new prompt, new critical lens, new outline.
