Carlton: On Friday, 12/9, we reviewed the directions for the writing test review project. I have updated the directions and example. They are both downloaded below. The project is due Friday, 12/16. Students continue to work on writing skills. They are completing their persuasive letters and will be writing an expository rough draft this week. Students will select one of their rough drafts to revise and edit. This paper will be graded for a test grade and the other will be a quiz grade. Everyone is working very hard on their writing as January 18, our state writing test date, approaches!
