09.04 - Marigolds (Writing)

For today's class, everyone had time to write their response to the short story "Marigolds" that we read in class yesterday. Everyone had the period to write their response. These essays will be assessed to help me plan and structure our work in English this year by showing me what people can already do well and what areas we should focus on improving.

These essays will not be entered into the grade book. Per the classes request though, I will assess all of the essays using the provided rubric and return these to students so that they can get a sense for grading and assessment in our class.

Materials for this writing are available here:
