Today’s Agenda:
 We will go to Lab 224 to do this test. You will sit at your assigned computer number. Log in, then open a browser and "MyAccess." Log in to MyAccess. Select this writing prompt: Plate Tectonics, Earthquakes, and Volcanoes Informational
Take the MyAccess Department Writing Test -- Informative
Use the articles provided. Take only a pen or pencil and any papers that Ms. Dorsey has given you, and your book to read in case you have extra time. Walk quietly to Computer Lab 224. Sit at your assigned computer -- your composition book number. Log into the computer, then into MyAccess. Do not open any other windows on the computer except for MyAccess. You have only ONE submission. You will need to submit at the end of class. However, if you have extra time, you may choose to work with the PowerPoint attached to Skyward.
