Expository Prompts

In class today, we discussed the Expository Writing practice test that all 6th Grade students at SFMS will be taking next week. We reviewed several different sample expository prompts and students were challenged to tranform the statement prompts (ending in periods) into questions (ending in a question mark). They also were required to develop a controlling idea (topic sentence, thesis) from this question. This skill is vital for success on the test next week. No homework tonight!  Have a great weekend.
