QUIZ: QUIZ Unit 1-6

The goal of the two paragraphs was two fold. Students were to demonstrate their understanding of the themes from the story and the movie. Second, I wanted to give students practice writing constructed responses. The January benchmark test showed me that students need more practice citing text from the pieces when they write. Students were given specific instructions for the organization of these paragraphs. If they followed the instructions, they should get a good grade.
