STEM Assignment

Irving Middle School

Title: My Greatest Accomplishment

Using more than 250 words, tell me your greatest accomplishment. As you write, it should feel as if I am there with you or I am watching you as you accomplish it. You must use descriptive words and elaborate which means that you must include detail. Use adjectives to describe the feelings and the details. Make sure you follow the paragraph format that I have written in. When you want to create a new paragraph, make sure you press the tab key. This will give you the paragraph indentation. If you want full credit for this assignment, you will need to send it early to me so that I can make any corrections. I will need it by Tuesday, February 6, 2018 before midnight so that it gives me time to read the paper and respond. Once I respond, you need to resubmit the paper with all the corrections made. Just because you send it to me doesn’t mean that it is done correctly. I will always respond with in twenty four hours so that you know whether or not the assignment has been submitted. Please check gradebook to make sure that I have updated grades for the homework assignment. This assignment is due Thursday, February 8, 2018 before midnight. Use your time and technology appropriately to get the work done and turned in to me within a reasonable amount of time. To check the amount of words that you have, highlight your paragraph and look at the lower left hand corner. It will tell you how many words you have in your paragraph.
