Students are required to respond to a writing prompt every week as homework. The writing prompts and their requirements are listed below.  All writing prompts require a minimum of at least one paragraph, although students can always choose to write more as long as they organize their thoughts into logical, multiple paragraphs.  If a student doesn't want to follow the writing prompt, they can submit the alternate option- a news story about a school or community event.  With the news story option, remember to include the 5 W's!
