Directions:
Directions:
1. Choose any three of the following questions to answer.
2. Write a rough draft on your own paper.
3. Be sure each answer begins with a topic sentence, includes details (events, quotations) from the stories we read, and ends with a closing sentence. Don’t forget to indent.
4. Your answers should each be 6-10 sentences in length.
5. Proofread! Proofread! Proofread! I will answer your questions; I will not DO it for you! I will only read to the fourth mechanical error in each answer; after that your choice is to come in on your own time and re-do them or to take a zero.
6. You may use your Writers INC books, a dictionary, and the story spreadsheet if it is completely filled out; you may ask questions.
7. Write a final, very-best-that-you-can-do copy on theme paper. Use blue or black ink ONLY and write on ONLY one side of the paper. Staple your final draft and hand it in. Be sure your name is on it!
