Scholarship Assignment
Step 1 – Find a scholarship that has a writing portion of at least 250 words. (If you want to do a smaller one, that’s okay. You’ll just have to do 2 scholarships to count towards the 250 word minimum.)
Step 2 – Write the rough draft and e-mail it to Mrs. Zimmerman at [email protected]
Step 3 – Make the changes that Mrs. Zimmerman suggests Step 4 – E-mail Mrs. Zimmerman the confirmation (you can take a
screen shot with Prt Scrn as save it as a Word Document) so she can give you points for the assignment.
On a separate piece of paper. . .
Write you and your elbow partner’s name. (one piece of paper per partnership.)
Roll the die four times and write down the four numbers across the top of your paper.
Pass the die back to the partnership behind you.
You’ll be creating a story (taking only 5 minutes) using the 4 objects you just rolled.
