End Review:
The student really struggled with the concept of writing for multiple audiences. However, by the end of the project, they were very creative with their efforts. We especially focused on tone and purpose. The seniors did very well with the project as a whole; however, in the future, I would prefer to allow them to choose a character rather than a specific Tuesday.
