We finished reading The Tempest, by Shakespeare, today, and watched 15 minutes of the film. Katya has print out examples of the ACT essay sample one on machines -- to study at home. I explained that writing for that test is different than her usual writing, and she must learn what they are looking for to get best score. I would like Katya to prepare to write her own essay on that ACT prompt -- create an outline or mindmap over the weekend -- then write from that. Studying the samples and practicing with ACT.org materials will be extremely helpful over the summer. The thesis statement on these must show her "position" -- what she agrees or disagrees with and a basic idea of why.
