"what's that? students generally don't perform as well when forced to hand write an essay they cannot edit, in a high stress time constrained period? Well I am just stumped on that one"

True same like for my honors English we're writing a timed essay tomorrow and everyone is freaking out because no one does well on timed essays.

I usually do pretty well at them, if you need a hand preparing, pm me, I'll give you a hand

okay, thanks! I just never end up finishing them bc I suck at time management tbh

do they give you planning time at the start?

she told us at the beginning of the week and we're allowed to bring in quotes to support our ideas.

a full page typed? try to leave room for annotations throughout. get your best paragraphs planned and on the page quickly because the ones you're less confident with may not get you the most marks

but take five minutes at the start to really create that solid plan, it'll save you floundering time halfway through

okay that sounds very solid thank you! you're a doll

it's one essay babycakes, don't let it get you down, you'll be fab
