The expectations for writing assignment -FCA's, Collins Writing from a 3-5. Making sure to WR (whisper read) rough draft to find mistakes.  Make sure students use the ACT writing hand. 

Pinky- is to get the reader "hooked" it should have a catchy introduction. 

The ring finger- Acknowledge the other point of view. Like a married couple. When you have a disagreement the best thing to do is acknowledge that person may have a valid point, but yours is better. :)

The middle finger- (Give 'em the bird") means after giving the other point of view, say something to really get your point across.

The pointer finger- give them one last good reason why the reader should choose your point of view. 

The thumb- warp it up.  Give a good closing to keep the reader on your side.
