Welcome to Comp. 1!!

Composition I focuses on improving student writing skills.

This year we will be exploring narrative, informative, descriptive, and persuasive writing.

Students will become familiar with standards and terminology for the PSSA.

Every Friday we will part from formal writing and jump into our journals.

All work will be graded. Students MUST meet deadlines. Late work will not be accepted.
All work must be completed. Partial essays, projects and journals will receive a zero.

Written Assignment:

In your journal respond to the following prompt:

Hollywood producers are making a film based on your life and have put you in charge of casting. They want it as realistic as possible, so they ask that you pick actors and actresses who look the part. Who would you pick to play your family and friends, and, more importantly, who will play you?
