JASPER JONES ESSAY – SOME TIPS!
KISS!!!!!!
Keep It Simple Student!
- Do not try to impress. Just write your essay in plain, simple English and make your points as clearly as you can.
- Explore your notes and put in as much information as you can – but keep returning to the question and make sure you are answering it. Don’t waffle.
- Take a new paragraph for each point you are making.
- DO NOT give your opinion!
- Keep adjectives to a minimum.
- DO NOT HAND IN UNEDITED WORK! At Stage 3 level you should be handing in error-free work. Edit and edit again. Use a dictionary and check your spelling. Ensure your spelling, punctuation and grammar is correct. If you are unsure – check!
I have just come from an English Teachers’ Conference where we were told that for Stage 3, we must only accept work handed in by due date and we cannot give you any second chances. What you hand in is what is marked and nothing can be changed. Please keep this in mind.
As you know, all work done in class goes towards your final mark. Please do the very best work you can.
If necessary, take an extra few days to hand in your best work.
