Keep in mind that all weekly writings are due by Friday (or the last day of school week) BEFORE class time begins. Points will be taken off for incorrect spellings, grammar errors, etc. Please refer to the Six Traits of Writing posted in the room in regard to ideas, sentence fluency, organization, voice, word choice and conventions. You must, must, must have an introductory paragraph, a concluding paragraph, and a story paragraph between. Plan for one page, double-spaced, in Times 12 point font as a rough estimate. Each of your paragraphs must have AT LEAST 3 sentences in them that "add" to the story you are telling. I would suggest writing your essay in Word and then copying & pasting it to the blogger website.
This assignment counts as a homework assignment on the week it is assigned. Have fun with it - and remember, keep it school appropriate or it is a ZERO! If your writing prompt is not done by class time on the last day of the week it is assigned, it is a ZERO - there are no "lates" for the weekly writing assignments! Mention anyone's name in this school in any type of derogatory way - ZERO!
