Assessment: "The Quinceañera Text" Quiz  Today you have the opportunity to demonstrate what you learned after reading "The Quinceañera Text" by taking an online quiz, which can be found here. You are encouraged to refer back to the texts of the related article and essay at any point during the quiz (a link is here). I will read each question and answer set aloud to you and then provide you with the time you need to complete your assessment. After you have submitted your quiz, you may move on to the activity featured below. 

Writing Time: 100 Word Challenge  If time permits today, you may work on your 100 Word Challenge: Picture Challenge story. As you begin to craft your story, make sure to consider the following questions: Does your story flow naturally from beginning to end? Do you use descriptive words and sensory details? Do you skillfully incorporate dialogue? Do you carefully review your spelling, capitalization, punctuation, and grammar? Do you make sure your verb tenses are consistent and that you have employed correct and varied sentence structures? Please make sure your piece of writing is good as it can be.

(Remember you must have made at least one entry by the end of the day Friday.)  (2.)
