Write On
The Write On task is focused on developing students' writing skills in four domains of writing: Persuasive, Expository, Narrative and Descriptive. Emphasis is placed on the importance of clear and thoughtful writing. Students are encouraged to share their reflections or reviews on any shared article or book they have read, and invite others to discuss these writings. In addition, students can use a news article or heading/caption of the news article as a debate prompt, and can invite others to add comic writing by adding dialogues in blank speech bubble.
