Timed+Writing









In order to develop "automaticity" in writing about Educational Testing Service (ETS) topics (TOEFL, SAT, GRE, __#|GMAT__), we need to develop literacy skills in several domains. This means we need both a general knowledge and the lexicogrammatical resources to answer questions in these domains. Below, I have recreated a document you've seen before to get us going.



Self-study agenda: 1. What grammatical structures do you need to answer this question and achieve at least 2.5 on GRA? 2. What __#|academic__ (and nonacademic) vocabulary do you need to achieve at least a 2.5 on LRA (in addition to the range of lexical bundles we use to make moves 1-6)?

Pre-writing tasks 1. Please remember your rhetorical analysis of the audience for the MEIPE writing test. 2. Please list the 5 academic words you plan to use in this morning's timed writing practice. 3. Please identify the grammar structures you plan to use and why you plan to use them to answer this question.

Post-writing tasks 1. On the same page that you __#|completed__ the pre-writing tasks, use the MEIPE Composition rubric to self-assess. 2. D id you use our 5 paragraph, 6 move essay template? How well do you think you did with it? 3. Did you use your 10 academic words? If yes, how accurate do you believe you were? If not, why didn't you use them? 3. Did you use the grammatical structures you identified as useful and use them correctly? If not, why not?
