What word should I use: essay or something else?
I'd like my English teacher to check what I wrote about specific theme, which is about from 100 to 200 words, and correct it at the beginning of the lesson.
In this situation, what should I call what I wrote?
an short essay, an essay, a script, a memo, a short memo, or something else?

A "short essay" would probably be the right word in this case.

It's a "short essay."
Oddly enough, you could also call it "a theme," because one of the meanings of "theme" is "A short composition assigned to a student as a writing exercise."
It isn't a "script." A script is always meant to be read aloud as spoken dialog--like a theatre play.
SCENE I. Elsinore. A platform before the castle.
BERNARDO: Who's there?
FRANCISCO: Nay, answer me: stand, and unfold yourself.
It isn't a "memo." A memo is a business communication within a company.
MEMO
From: Edna Ferguson
To: Sales Department

Be sure to have your sales reports in before the end of Monday. Please send them to me as an Excel attachment in email, do not give me printout.
