Dewar's Language Arts- Orientation Week

Hey everyone! This week during orientation the students will be completing the Reading MAPS test.
 
For a baseline writing assessment I am asking that students use the writing process to complete a writing prompt. You can locate this prompt in the Language Arts class OneNote notebook online or here under assignments. It may be emailed to me, posted on a new page in their OneNote, or submitted through Teams in the assignment tab. 
 
We will be going over how to access Microsoft Teams, OneNote, and the Assignments in Teams during this week. Videos will be added to my Advocacy Page showing you how to access these, as well.
 
As always please email me with any questions!
