NECAP, DAY 6, Writing Test Strategies

Hi Folks,

Today is the last math NECAP test day.  All week we are on a block schedule until Friday, when the NECAP's are all done and we return to a regular schedule!

We reviewed and shared the NECAP dialog writing prompt, and you were given two more writing prompts from last year's NECAP writing test (released items).

First one (narrative):  Write a paragraph from an adventure story, that introduces your main character (protagonist) and gives them LOTS of characterization.

Second one (persuasive):  Write a paragraph that takes a postion on whether or not we should have a class in school that teaches kids how to save and manage money.  Give one good reason and elaborate upon it.


Homework:  The above two prompts.  Remember: fill the box!
