Today, we will be finishing our "Three Types of Writing" assignment. Your goal is to have the completed assignment submitted to Google Classroom by Friday.

Welcome to your new platform for online learning. We will be using this site as a forum to keep you informed of what is expected each week.

Additionally, we will be using Google Classroom for you to receive instructions on assignments, turn work in, and get feedback. For Writing III your classroom code is: 6dkawfz.

Unfortunately, our nonfiction narrative project that we began in March was interrupted. That being the case, the nonfiction narrative final copy assignment will not be reflected in the grade book. However, if you have your assignment completed and turned in before 4pm this Thursday 4/2, I will give 5 points extra credit to reflect the work you put in.

This week you will be reading a sample narrative and completing a four part summary. The assignment materials and instructions are posted to Google Classroom.
