Gateway Writing Test Information
Scroll to the bottom for the link to the Gateway Review
Gwinnett County requires students to pass the Gateway Writing Tests during high school to earn a diploma. Students participate in these writing tests in the spring of their sophomore year.
One test is a document-based science test (the topic is either biology or chemistry related)
One test is a document-based social studies test (the topic is a world history, which we will learn in my class)
We do not know the topic, writing prompt or documents that will be used on the tests ahead of time. Students need to prepare for the test throughout their sophomore year. Skills for this test are taught in language arts, science and social studies.
Students in my class will begin preparing for this test within the first month of school! We will work on writing, interpretation of materials and study of the AKS covering world history.
