Our Wednesday homework is designed as a formative assessment. There are no wrong answers. We want to learn what you know about expository writing. Your essay will show us what you already know (and do well) and what we need to teach you (where you need to grow).
Use all the writing skills that you remember from 3rd grade. Think about the good writing that you have observed in your own reading. As always, do your very best. We can't wait to read your essay!
Living wide awake,
