Dr. Weinstein has translated the ACT essay instruction she regularly gives to her students into a methodical, easy-to-use guide for any student wishing to master the ACT essay. This workbook is full of realistic ACT-style essay prompts with the classic three perspectives that take the student from clear examples to completed essays. Later in the workbook are prompts that require more and more input from the student; a student can employ this step-by-step approach for independent study or with the help of a professional. I know that I’ll be using this book from now on.

Thank you NetGalley for the arc. I requested this arc for my daughter to review for her ACT. She enjoyed being able to learn some tips on her essay writing and did very well on this portion of her test, so I would say it was a success and would highly recommend.

Think of this as a guide from your favorite teacher or someone you trust to explain what the ACT essay is and how you can best prepare. Going from essay description and the three perspectives to choose from, how to analyze and plan your essay. It includes 20 essay examples that take you through the steps you learned on how to analyze, plan and write your essay.
This is a great resource for the ACT Essay, but also for college and your future professional life. As someone who worked in government - local and state - one is often required to analyze what is the real issue, weigh the pros and cons, put forth the arguments while listening to all sides, and decide (with or without others) on a conclusion/approach.
