Writing and Editing Tests:  The students will be tested every other week on writing, typically on Fridays.  We go over paragraph editing every day in class.  Fridays they will be tested on the skills learned throughout that week (such as end marks, capitals, underlining, quotes, etc...).  They will also be tested on writing a short paragraph on an assigned topic using those same skills.
