Greetings. Here it is, folks. Your first writing assignment. The purpose of this activity is for you to demonstrate where you are in your writing, and it will give us some direction as we decide where we have to go. In other words, do your best.
The school year in China typically runs from the beginning of September to mid-July, and the school year in South Korea typically runs from March to February. Students in the United States attend school from late August until early June. There has been much discussion in the national media about lengthening the school year or school day in order to keep America students from falling behind students from other countries such as China and South Korea.
Write an essay in which you explain why the school year in the United States should or should NOT be lengthened.
Reminders
- Take a few minutes to plan your essay in the space below before you actually begin to write it.
- Pace yourself. You will have 45 minutes to write; this includes your planning and proofreading time.
- You may write about one reason why the school year should or should not be lengthened, or you may include several reasons why.
- Use the best grammar, spelling, and punctuation that you can. Be sure to proofread your essay before you turn it in.
