Essay of the Week

Each Monday I assign the Essay of the Week (Language Arts classes only). These short essays (about 1 page) are about a page long and students have 1 week to complete the assignment. Students must write with proper grammar, spelling, sentence structure and organization.

The following week I review the Essay of the Week by reading one or two essays. I have already handed students back their essays with my feedback and I retype the two or three best essays (with student mistakes and the student names removed). By constantly writing and evaluating one another's work the students become better writers.
