Graded Essay Length/Purpose

Hello CC,

  1. How long can a graded essay be? (Is 2000 words ok?)
  2. What is the purpose/importance of the graded essay?

The purpose is to get another sample of your writing (i.e sample of your school writing). In my personal opinion, don’t just send another essay. Last year I sent a narrative. This year I am sending a bio-chem report on anthrax.

2000 words seems like a lot, but if that’s the essay you feel confident on then go ahead!

They want to see how you write for school. They also want to see how your school graded that work. @atria, I like your idea.
