Together with our usual practice, students are required to complete a writing assessment in the form of a summary. The assessment needs to be completed within class hours in order to make sure all students hand it in. We have neglected this skill lately so we now need to focus a bit more on it. There is also a tip sheet on how to write a summary attached.
TOGETHER WITH OUR USUAL GRAMMAR PRACTICE (WHICH WILL BE REDUCED TO JUST TWO PAGES TONIGHT) STUDENTS ARE EXPECTED TO COMPLETE A SUMMARY AS A WRITING ASSESSMENT.
THE PASSAGE TO BE SUMMARIZED IS ATTACHED : PAGE 1 OF THE DOCUMENT “ASSESSMENT+WS april23rd”. YOU WILL ALSO FIND A BRIEF INSTRUCTIONAL PAGE FOR TIPS ON HOW TO WRITE A SUCCESSFUL SUMMARY.
The summary can be hand written on a separate piece of paper and then sent to me as a scanned/pdf doc. A photo will work too. If you have access to WORD please type it on a WORD doc and send it to my email directly.
Students are required to complete the assessment during class time , no exceptions. We need to collect several writing assessments as this skill has been unfortunately neglected lately. Thank you for your cooperation.
