W1. Foreign Language-Language Arts Interdisciplinary Writing Prompt

Good morning. This week's essay will be conducted in your Foreign Language class. I wanted to make sure that you had ammunition for your own ideas, so I've prepared a link to a reading that you can go over first to help you out. Make sure to click the link with the appropriate prompt for you, depending on what language you are studying.

I appreciate both your taking the time to do this for me, and Mr. Leister taking the time to administer it. I want to construct situations where you write when I am not around, so you can make sure that you can do all of these tricks that we learn in lots of different contexts and classes.

Once you are in Foreign Language class, you will have the entire period to compose your response. Remember that this is a graded exercise for me, so if you need any writing checks for my gradebook, this is a good way to get them.  Remember, you can't type on the original, so click "File," then "Make a Copy," so you can have your own personal copy. Do not share your file with anyone this time.
