  14. ACT Writing How-To You have 30 minutes to write your essay. Each essay prompt is laid out in the same way: • Lays out an issue • Gives brief reasoning for both sides of the issue • Asks YOU to take a stand on the issue, using SPECIFIC examples (from personal experience, what you have heard on the news, what you have learned in school, etc.)

  15. How to Manage Time… Because you have only 30 minutes to do your essay, here is a schedule for how to plan your time: 1 minute: Read the prompt and figure out what it’s asking 2-3 minutes: Outline your paper using a thesis and the main topics of your paper. If you can, jot down ideas for examples to use also. 23 minutes: WRITE 3-4 minutes: Re-read and revise/edit

  16. Sample prompt: • Educators debate extending high school to five years because of increasing demands on students from employers and colleges to participate in extracurricular activities and community service in addition to having high grades. Some educators support extending high school to five years because they think students need more time to achieve all that is expected of them. Other educators do not support extending high school to five years because they think students would lose interest in school and attendance would drop in the fifth year. In your opinion, should high school be extended to five years? • In your essay, take a position on this question. You may write about either one of the two points of view given, or you may present a different point of view on this question. Use specific reasons and examples to support your position.
