County-Wide FCAT Prompt

Tomorrow we will be completing the first of three county-wide writing prompts that will be given throughout the year.  It will be just like the FCAT writes.  Today in class we went over the rubric and discussed elements that should be included in their papers.  We talked about introduction, body paragraphs, conclusions, transition words, and what not to do in their papers.  Students received their vocabulary back and are able to correct the sentences if they do not like the grade they received.  I notified students who have not turned it in yet, that they still need to do so or they will receive a zero for the assignment.  They should all study the grammar and vocabulary as we will be having a quiz on it on Friday!
