This week, students will be concluding their Unit 3 nonfiction district assessment by writing an Extended Constructed Response (ECR). In addition, they will take the planning work completed last week for their Expository Essays and begin drafting. If their plans are strong and detailed, the essay writing process will be much smoother and more effective.
