Standards Met: ELA9RL4/ELAWLRL4 The student employs a variety of writing genres to demonstrate a comprehensive grasp of significant ideas in selected literary works.

ELA9W1 The student produces writing that establishes an appropriate organizational structure, sets a context and engages the reader, maintains a coherent focus throughout, and signals closure.

What does this mean? The State Georgia says that all 9th and 10th grade English and Language Arts students need to be able to create different types of writing. This is your chance to be creative and to express yourself (for the most part) freely.

Each writing prompt will give you the opportunity to write a rough draft, revise, peer edit with a friend, revise and submit a final draft. That will help you go through the writing process and complete your best work possible.

Good luck!
