A task force of Michigan Social Studies teachers has produced the Guide document below in order to help Michigan teachers with the Persuasive Essay portion of the MME and MEAP Social Studies assessments. Please review it by April 27, 2007, and then take a few minutes to complete a brief survey on the last page of the document. Your comments will be anonymous and will help the task force to review the document before placing a final version on our MEAP and MME websites in June 2007. If there are any further questions or comments, please contact Ruth Isaia at isaiar@mi.gov   or call 517-335-0477. Thank you.
