Rules of the Turning Points Essay Contest
Students currently in Grades 7 and 8 whose teachers have registered for the program are eligible to submit essays in consultation with their teacher.
Essays must be authentic (true story)
Essays must adhere to the maximum word count for the grade level:
Group A Grade 6: 250 to 350 words
Group B Grades 7 and 8: 350 to 500 words
Group C Grades 9 and 10: 500 to 800 words
Group D Grades 11 and12: 800 to 1,000 words
Essays must have an effective title (note that "My Turning Point" or "Turning Point essay" will not be accepted). Title is not included in the word count.
Student name must not appear on the essay pages.
Entries will be assessed on the basis of originality of thought, clarity of language, organizational structure, use of conventions such as grammar and spelling, understanding of a "turning point" and impact on the reader.
Once an essay is submitted to The Learning Partnership, the essay becomes the property of The Learning Partnership.
