The grades vary all over the country.

 

Where I live its structured like this

 

Kindergarten and Preschool are in one school

 

grade 1-grade 6=elementary

 

grade 7 and 8=Middle school

 

grade 9-12=High school

 

All though the freshman-sophmore is the same.I think thats the same all over the us

first exam down!

 

that was easy! there were 3 sections in the exam...comprehension, essay and essay. I wrote a page for the two comprehension questions, they were answering a question relating to an article by Micheal Moore about Flints poverty and school shootings.

 

In the second section, i didnt think was very strong, it was about poems, like how they are "vehicles for social commentary and / or protest".

 

The third section was interesting and fun, "Though their primary objectives are to entertain, how are our values and attitudes reinforced or challenged?" for this i wrote what seemed like 4 pages on "24".

 

overall it was good! <_< human biology's next, not studying today, must rest!

[Captain Jean-Luc Picard 1]

Cool, but if it were me, I would have refused to write about school shootings. Much to disturbing a topic for me to poor a lot of thought into, unless a debate.
