[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Here is what appears in Canvas for my 8th grader for the EWP, which was already due — in case helpful to others.

Prompt: Using the elements of short fiction that you have learned about so far in the short story collection Us, in Progress, write and publish a short story based on a positive personal experience. Your short story will be an original story based on your own ideas, experiences, and perspective. Even though you are writing a fictional narrative, you can use your own experiences to make your characters and plot events more realistic.

Your story must include:

a clear point of view
plot with clear conflict, exposition, rising action, climax, and resolution
realistic and correctly formatted dialogue
a clear setting with sensory details
well-developed characters with descriptive language that reveals their thoughts, feelings, and sensations

Your story must be 1-2 pages. It should be written in Arial Size 11  or Times New Roman Size 12.

You are expected to use Unit 1 roots (mal, fid, neg, sacer, ver).[/quote]

Looks like this one, at least, comes straight out of CKLA.  https://www.coreknowledge.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/CKLA_G8U1_TG_Web.pdf

Wonder if all the other EWPs are as well?  It would be too bad, the amount and type of writing in CKLA is not super rigorous. [/quote]
