Assignments
This page will be available to you as a support to work on your writing proficiency skills. There will be links for you to complete particular assignments online. These online passages can be scored instantly, and then you will print out your results and bring them to me to discuss. Some of the work will be handwritten to simulate the testing environment. Also, you will find support pages that will remind you how to structure your essay.
