The ACT Writing test asks students to:
Write a unified, coherent essay. In your essay, be sure to:
-clearly state your own perspective on the issue and analyze the relationship between your perspective and at least one other perspective
-develop and support your ideas with reasoning and examples
-organize your ideas clearly and logically
-communicate your ideas effectively in standard written English
Your perspective may be in full agreement with any of those given, in partial agreement, or completely different.

Attendees in this workshop will…
….experience what it’s like to write an ACT essay.
….breakdown the task and expectations to help students develop a clear picture of what is
expected.
….explore graphic organizers, resources, and other instructional materials for use.
