Thank you for using the Jiskha Homework Help Forum. I always wrote my own, depending upon whether it was oral or written in each language I taught. Here are some things to consider:
* Consider audience and purpose when planning for writing.
* Present ideas in a logical sequence.
* Elaborate ideas clearly and accurately.
* Revise writing for depth of information and technique of
presentation.
* Edit final copies for correct use of language, spelling,
punctuation, and capitalization.
SAT and ACT have guides you can purchase.

I had each student keep a "hit list" of the errors he/she made to especially look for those things first.
