THE WRITING ASSESSMENT: BASIC PRINCIPLES
BY DAVID LIN
BASIC PRINCIPLES • Oh, yes, You Can Too Plan Your Essays in Advance • Create a Template • Preconstruction
THE FIRST TOPIC: ANALYSIS OF AN ISSUE Step 1: Read the topic Step 2: Decide the general position you are going to take – you need to take a stand on the issue Step 3: Brainstrom. Come up with a bunch of supporting ideas or examples. It helps to write these down on a piece of scratch paper. These supporting statements are supposed to help persuade the reader that your main thesis is correct.
Step 4: Look over your supporting ideas and throw out the weakest ones. There should be three to five left over. Step 5: Write the essay in pencil, using all the preconstruction and template tools. Step 6: Read over the essay and do some editing. The examiner will not take away points for spelling or grammatical mistakes, but you want your organization to be as well-reasoned as possible.
WHAT THE READERS LOOK FOR? • Explores ideas and develops a position on the issue with insightful reasons and / or persuasive examples. • Is clearly well organized • Demonstrates superior control of language, including diction and syntactic variety • Demonstrates superior facility with the conventions of standard written English but may have minor flaws…
The issue of ______________________________________ ___________________ is a controversial one. On the one hand, _______________________ ____________________________________ On the other hand, ____________________ ______________________________________ ______________________________________ _. However, in the final analysis, I believe that ______________________________________ ______________________________________ ________________________.
The issue of censorship of popular TV programs and music lyric is a controversial one. On the one hand, increased crime and violence are causing a disintegration of the framework of our society. On the other hand, free speech is one of our most important freedoms, guaranteed by the constitution. However, in the final analysis, I believe that the dangers of subjecting impressionable young minds to questionable values make self-censorship by the entertainment industry a viable alternative.
