How to Write

Writing an argumentative essay for the Act is actually quite easy. The test givers asign the test taker a topic to agrue what they think is right and then they must go one from there. The grading rubric for the ACT is graded on a holistic grading scale. There are six different levels for grades. The worst grade is a one. The real reason a person would get a one is if they do not take a side to the argument or the language is a foreign language. There is no support to the writers points. To get a two for your score you would have to be pretty dumb. To have a two would be to show none, or very little effort. You are demonstrating that you do not know what you are doing. The writer does not show a deffinate answer to the question and the essay is very weak with support. People who receive threes show that the writer understands what the topic addresses. They show the writer has some skills of writing. The do not have a stated counter argument. A counter argument is something that shows something that is the opposite of what the writer is arguing. A three has lame translations. A good transition flows with the following paragraph. To get a four the writer would have a lot of grammar mistakes. Grammar mistakes count off an essay if they distract form the essay. For example, using the wrong word is a good example of a mistake in grammar. To receive a five, the writer must show complexity in their work. To do this, the writer has support of the topic, but the writer could have better ones. They have transitions that are good. They also have a counter argument to express other feelings for the topic. If a writer receives a six, they are a god. It means that they show a lot of support, a counter argument, and good grammar. These are the different levels of scoring for the writing portion of the ACT test.
