Final Assignment for I Rode a Horse of Milk White Jade

Our unit for I Rode a Horse of Milk White Jade is coming to an end meaning it is time for our final assignment for the unit. Each year in the Middle School Program I assign an essay for each student to write individually. Essays, while not the most exciting assignment, are an extremely common form of writing students are asked to due in Western education systems. Since many of our students at Happy Kids eventually transfer to an overseas school for secondary or post-secondary school, It is important they learn how to write a proper academic essay.

For this essay, students will have a choice of three questions (see below) related to our unit these past 6 weeks. Students are to pick one and write their essay by the end of the unit on December 24th. Follow the links for support for writing both an expository and a persuasive essay. While this assignment is a review, it is always good to refresh your mind. Assignment sheet is posted below for reference.
