A Enem 2023 writing It was applied on the first Sunday of testing, November 5th. Candidates had to produce a text on the theme “The challenges of addressing the invisibility of care work carried out by women in Brazil”.
The National Higher Maturity Examination (Enem) requires students to produce a dissertation-argumentative text, characterized by the defense of a point of view through argumentation, Professor Fernando Marinho highlights in this article.
Furthermore, participants will have to present a proposal for an intervention, which constitutes part of the conclusion of the thesis text.
The Enem 2023 writing booklet is the document that presents the main information on the textual production of the exam, the skills assessed, how the writing is corrected and examples of texts with a thousand marks.
The Enem essay evaluation criteria are well-researched and objective, emphasizes Julia Ferreira, essay coordinator at Plataforma Nota 1000. The educator also emphasizes that exam evaluators undergo a long training process to ensure the quality of the marking.
How is the Enem 2023 essay corrected?
The Enem 2023 essay is corrected by at least two teachers with degrees in Literature or Linguistics, independently, without one knowing the performance attributed by the other, according to the Enem essay booklet.
The evaluators will evaluate the essay based on the five skills:
-
Competence 1: Demonstrate mastery of the formal written form of the Portuguese language.
-
Competence 2: Understand the written proposal and apply concepts from different fields of knowledge to develop the topic, within the structural limits of the thesis-argumentative text in prose.
-
Competency 3: Select, relate, organize, and interpret information, facts, opinions, and arguments to defend a point of view.
-
Competency 4: Demonstrate knowledge of the linguistic mechanisms necessary to construct an argument.
-
Competence 5: Prepare an intervention proposal for the problem addressed, respecting human rights.
The grade for each competence can be from 0 to 200. The total cost of the essay is 1,000 points. The final mark will be the arithmetic mean of the marks of the two evaluators.
See a detailed explanation of each skill in the video lesson below:
According to Julia Ferreira, one aspect that could be improved in the correction is the evaluation of cohesive strategies. Ferreira states that although Enem values ​​cohesive elements, there is no appreciation for other types of cohesive forms.
The more universal parameters used in the correction allow this ‘ready-made writing models’ perform well. Therefore, according to the teacher, some students resort to this method of “memorizing” the text model if they exercise their “ability to develop solid structures.”
“These formulas point to a problem with deeper roots: the gaps in basic education, which lead students to take this path at the expense of improving their discursive practice, since many do not have the opportunity to participate in more interactive and criticisms on the topic possibly included in the exam, and the correction grid itself, in part, can benefit texts that are not so authoritative”.

Discrepancy in writing grade
If the marks of the two evaluators have one of the following differences, the essay will be corrected by a third evaluator:
-
Difference greater than 100 points in total value.
-

The third evaluator will independently assign the grade. It will be done arithmetic mean of the closest scores.
If the discrepancy persists, the booklet provides that a jury of three teachers will evaluate the essay, assigning a final and definitive grade.
