Students take writing more seriously when they know it’s for a real audience. Here I’ve compiled all their realistic fiction essays (based on UN Sustainable Development Goals they are passionate about) that invite others to take action in their community.

Middle School Lang&Lit back in full swing and fun activities are my jam! Investigation trail to review class procedures and expectations; escape room to review literary elements! Students @AISQ8 are excited to be back! Have a great year everyone! #MYP @iborganization
