Writing Focus - 8B

Welcome!

Dear Raven Parent and Student,

I want to welcome you to 8th-grade Writing Focus at Rockvale Middle School, and I am honored to have you in my class during your final year in middle school. As you set your sights on the future, I am excited to play a small part in your development as a writer, critical thinker, and 21st-century learner. Currently, I am pursuing my Ed. D. in Instructional Technology, so you know that I will be writing more essays than you. Every week, I make mistakes in my writing, so I do not expect you to write perfectly. We will grow together throughout this year as people and students, and I want to emphasize growth. Once you read my grading policies, you will realize that—to me—growth is more important than grades. However, I must admit that I love receiving good grades for my assignments, and I believe that if you do your best and grow, good grades will follow. Please take some time and explore my page.

Kind regards,
Mr. Higgins
