A writing prompt on Friday relates to the week s four-paragraph composition and gives students the chance to apply the targeted language conventions. The weekly compositions cover a broad range of expository and narrative writing forms, including: nonfiction texts on grade-level social studies and science topics biographies, book reviews, instructions, interviews, journal entries, and letters fables, fantasy and science fiction, historical fiction, personal narratives, and realistic fiction
