Writing Assignment 1

This term Speaking Practice B2 includes 2 writing assignments which are worth 10% of your total mark. 
To make this as simple as possible I am making the assignments digital.  That means you don't write and hand in a paper copy.  You only input a digital copy on your computer, smart phone or tablet.

How to complete the student info form.
To start please complete the student information form.

How to complete the writing assignment.
After you have completed the student information form you can begin Writing assignment #1
Follow the instructions on the form.

The draft of this assignment is due October 7 and is worth 80% of the mark.
For the draft, I will be looking for length, and spelling and correct use of vocabulary words. 

The finished assignment is due October 21 and is worth 20% of the mark.
I will be checking that errors from the draft have been corrected.
