Today we took a Mid-Year CER writing prompt assessment. This is used to assess where students are in terms of the writing process and skills.  Students that have been absent and needed to finish the NWEA did so in class during this time and will complete the writing prompt when they are finished. 

When students finished, they were asked to read “The Jacket” by Gary Soto so we can begin an activity with it tomorrow. If you didn’t read it, it is to be read at home. You can read the story HERE.

Personal Narrative Rough Drafts are due TOMORROW! 

FYI:
