Hi Grade 8s, I have attached my feedback on your Japan paragraphs. Please look the slides over every time you write a paragraph and make sure you have done everything to the best of your ability. Do not beat yourself up about your score! More formal paragraph writing is a skill that comes with practice and time. You will have more opportunities to work on this! Most students will improve by one point by the end of the year. For example: You could go from a 2 to a 3, or a 3 to a 4. Paragraph Feedback Also, check over the 6 point scale and do you best to guess what your paragraph would get out of six.
