Writing Activities should reflect the student’s best effort in writing, and must be typed. The purpose of your entries is to explain what you have learned while working on your chosen assignment or project.
You are required to complete at least one during each of the four nine weeks of the sophomore and junior years and one reflective entry during each of the first three nine weeks of the senior year.
You should pick one example of work completed in your vocational program during each nine weeks and answer the following questions for each example. The examples of work can be an assignment or a project. You must include a copy of the assignment or a photo of the project.
Each writing activity must answer the question for the assignment in a three to five paragraph essay.
