Eighth grade beginning of the year writing - Assignment #1
In the following boxes, I want to see the best writing you are currently capable of producing. That means you writing quality paragraphs ( at least 5 sentences per paragraph) in response to each question/prompt. Reflect back on what you learned in seventh grade and years prior to last year. Please do any brainstorming and prewriting on a separate document or piece of paper (you will not be submitting that), and reserve this document for your final writing. When you have completed this document, make sure you turn it in/mark as done on or before the due date in order to get full credit.

Being unable to effectively organize my thoughts and ideas into words and sentences, I would feel reluctant to continue writing confidently whenever I received an undesirable grade.…
