Emergency Plans In Case School Is Closed....

Emergency Lesson Plans for English 11




In case the school needs to close due to circumstances beyond our control, I have put together some work together to keep the class going. Please read the following writing prompts and choose three essays to write about. You need to put each essay into a well-organized and developed essay. You will need to put together your own experiences, observations and/or information from various readings that you have done.



Each essay should be at least one page in length. You will be responsible for turning in a rough draft as well as the final copy in order to receive complete credit. Each essay is worth 100 points; therefore 300 points total.



• Everyone has days that they will always remember as being special. Think about a special day that you have had. Write an essay explaining why it was so special.



• Imagine that time travel to the past is possible. Think of where and when you would like to go for a visit.
