Journal 34 - ACT Essay

Hello everybody! Are you ready to learn how to writing a legitimate, excellent, and brilliant essay for your ACT?! First, you will want to have a clear understanding of your topic that you are given. For example: this class was given a topic of whether or not educators should use a traditional grading system or a pass / fail grading scale. Obviously, I would want to have a good understanding of what a traditional grading scale and a pass / fail grading scale are. If the topic was something I did not know anything about, like physics, I would just be kind of screwed. So the first thing you need to have is a just a general knowledge of a lot of things. So if you are planning on actually gong to college, I am sure that you will have this general understanding of whatever the topic is. Another thing you should do is make sure to include both sides of the argument also. The people who are grading the essay look at that and showing both sides of the argument is what separates the boys from the men, so to speak. This is a definite thing you need to show within your essay. Another thing one should do is have logical thoughts and organization throughout the essay. An example of poor thoughts and organization is this blog. It is terrible as far as organization and word choice are concerned. So I would definitely recommend not to read this blog ever. Another thing one should have is an excellent vocabulary and excellent grammar usage. Once again, I would recommend to not look at this blog for either grammar usage or a large vocabulary. I am terrible at both of the previous mentioned things. These things are all things that you, that's right, you! can do to get a good grade of six on your ACT essay! If you do these and are a good writer, then you will do well on your essay.
