Students' work will be assessed according to the items listed in the checklist (Stimulating Ideas, Logical Organization, Engaging Voice, Original Word Choice, Smooth-Reading Sentences, Correct, accurate copy).

Stage 2: Students will be given writing assessments (including question), and will have 40 minutes to respond to the writing prompt: Is it ever fair to be left out?
