3. On-Demand Narrative Writing Pre-Assessment
In-Class Assignment
This is a pre-assessment which means it's not graded. I will use this assessment to understand what kind of writer you are. It will help me decide what kind of lessons this class needs during our realistic fiction unit, and it will allow you to see your growth from beginning to end of unit.
