Long Term Assignments & Test Schedule for Term 1

Long-term Writing Assignment for Term 1:

Do some reserach adn find out about someone in your family or someone you admire or an historical figure. It could even be a personal story, if you have felt you have made a difference because of something you have done. This story is not a biography of an entire person's life.
