--As a take-home assessment, you were instructed to complete just the active/purposeful reading component of Article of the Week #5. Please place your best work in the black basket on the front table. As you work in small groups today followed by engaging in free reading (if time permits), I will score your work so that I can input your performance as the last bit of data for your Marking Period 5 report card.
--While you are at the front table, please pick up a copy of the sample paragraph. Then, read the bolded text at the top of the page so that you are aware of the prompt to which the paragraph responds. Finally, wait patiently for further directions.

ROUGH End-of-Unit Assessment Writing Prompt:
Write a multi-paragraph essay in which you argue the extent to which both Romeo and Juliet are impulsive by analyzing their behaviors during similar circumstances. Then, answer the "so what" question: So what?! Who cares?! Why does this matter?!
