Writing - Tomorrow we are taking the District Writing Assessment for Opinion Writing.  Students should think of a topic that they know and care about.  They can bring books and information from the internet to help them write.  They only have 30 minutes to write, so tomorrow will be used for writing, not research.  If students have not thought of a topic by tomorrow, they use precious writing minutes just sitting at their desk.
