October 23rd Weekly Schedule
for 9th Grade English


Monday, October 23rd:

Work on the District Assessment Test and Persuasive Essay. This is a two to three day assessment designed by the district to test students’ reading, writing and analytical skills. We will read essays and articles on the subject of video games and violence in children. You will then answer some multiple choice questions over the subject matter and then write a “short constructed response” and a persuasive essay stating your opinion - just like we did last week on the landmine ban treaty.
