WRITING

ALL of our writing, whether it is a story, essay, letter, short answer or reading response, should have ALL of the following items:

• Correct capitalization

• Correct punctuation

• Best effort with spelling: using spelling patterns and resources to help when necessary

• Complete sentences - when answering a question, restate the question. (For example, What is your favorite holiday? My favorite holiday is ...)
