MS: 13-year-old Writing

As part of the 13-year-old essentials of writing unit, students practice a variety of grammar and punctuation marks throughout the year. This knowledge is to then be incorporated in their future written works. The students pictured are working together to complete exercises on how to properly use hyphens and dashes in writing. 

Students in the 13-year-old class are currently studying media literacy and media creation. These courses focus on helping students to identify bias in various media and to develop skill in effectively presenting stories and/ or factual information in a variety of media formats. Students research best practices for using visual imagery and sound to create a compelling media presentation.
