The goal is to reward students who display the ability to think “outside the box’—that is, those who provide something other than formulaic answers, and who can do so in a novel or unusual way. Here are the checkpoints to use for a truly creative essay in this competition: + (10%) Does this essay express ideas not commonly found in the other essays? Yes / No + (10%) Does this essay answer the question in an unexpected way? Yes / No + (10%) Does this essay display a lot of thought on behalf of the student writing it? Yes / No + (10%) Does this essay address the topic in a way that makes the reader think? Yes / No 20% - Structure ‘The way in which an essay is organized helps make it more easily understood and appreciated. High school essays that are, for example, just one long paragraph with no visual breaks are both hard on the eyes and display a lack of maturity in composition. + (10%) Is this essay organized in a comprehensible way? Yes / No + (10%) If the essay adheres to a traditional format, is there a clear beginning, middle, and end or introduction, body, and conclusion? Yes / No 10% - Adherence to Topic Sometimes essays are cleverly written, but they actually have little to do with the given topic. While creative essays should be able to find many unusual ways to answer a question (questions can be answered as essays, stories, dialog, and so on), they should still, in some way, obviously respond to the chosen topic. + (10%) Does this essay, in one way or another, address the topic at hand? Yes / No 20% - Grammar Although good grammar is important and should not go unrewarded, the goal of this competition is to encourage creative thinking, not drive students to worry about their verb conjugation or spelling. That said, as long as the grammar is understandable and does not hinder a reader's ability to comprehend the essay, this 20% should be awarded. ‘Address: City Schools Division of Cauayan City, Turayong, Cauayan City, Isabela, 3305 Telephone Nos.: (078) 652-1614 FF Email Address: cauayancity@deped.gov.ph 7 Website: depedcauayan.wordpress.com+ 20% Is the grammar of this essay correct enough that the essay is easy to understand? Yes / No 10% - “Wow!” factor ‘This portion is where points are awarded for exceptional essays—those that display an incredible use of vocabulary, clever ideas, mature style, advanced English for the writer’s grade level, and so on. This 10% is to be awarded only to essays that truly impress the readers, and these essays should likely make it to the second reading session. + (10%) Does this essay “wow” the reader for one reason or another?
