TAKS Writing
March 3, 2009 |

| Our chance to shine as authors on the state-wide TAKS test is here! We have the whole day to fashion a great essay on the topic we are assigned. We must also exercise our revision and editing skills to answer some questions. I am confident that with concentration and effort every student will rise to the challenge do a wonderful job on this test. |
