Describe a favorite place



Dear Students,

Keep your audience in mind.  As a writer, you want the reader to form a mental picture and understand why this place is important or meaningful to you.  Please pay attention to the following guidelines:

  • Grammar counts! - Refrain from using texting lingo, abbreviations, and lower case "i".
  • This should be a paragraph in length.  Think about putting your audience in the moment and the use of descriptive details.
  • DON'T FORGET your first name and last name along with the period you have language arts (Example: Kristin Allan - LASS 1/2 or 4/5)
Your response is due by 4 p.m. on Friday, September 28th.
