I was out during 1st - 4th periods - students completed the "other" writing prompt from the ApplyTexas website as a timed writing that was due by the end of the period.
Students should still have a copy of the prompts and the prewriting/brainstorming questions that went with them .. however, if not, the prompt are as follows:
- Topic A:Describe a setting in which you have collaborated or interacted with people whose experiences and/or beliefs differ from yours. Address your initial feelings, and how those feelings were or were not changed by this experience.
- Topic B:Describe a circumstance, obstacle or conflict in your life, and the skills and resources you used to resolve it. Did it change you? If so, how?
