A New School Building You have been selected to design a new school building. You can decide how the school will look, how classrooms and other spaces will be organized, and what materials will be used in construction. How would your design help students learn and teachers and staff do their work?

Write an essay that presents your new school building. Include descriptive details so readers can imagine how this new school will look.

As you write, remember your essay will be scored based on how well you:

develop a multi-paragraph response to the assigned topic that clearly communicates your controlling idea to the audience.
support your controlling idea with meaningful examples, reasons, and information based upon your research or readings.
organize your essay in a clear and logical manner, including an introduction, body, and conclusion.
use well-structured sentences and language that are appropriate for your audience.
edit your work to conform to the conventions of standard American English.
Use any of the tools available to you, such as the Checklist, Spellchecker, or Graphic Organizer.
