Your mark will be based on the following:

2. You have selected two pieces of writing you would like me to look at. You have put a large star beside each title. In a paragraph at the end of all your prompts (not each) you have explained where you feel your writing has grown throughout this unit with specific examples- use a highlighter to show these examples.
