Hello,

I teach 1st grade and am a little confused on what work samples to submit for Component 2. I took a writing sample at the beginning of the year where students had to write about the coolest place that they have ever visited. I am wondering if it's okay if my next sample is an opinion piece (we are currently writing about if they like first grade and why/why not). Then for the last writing piece I was thinking of switching it up and having them research a topic and write an informational piece. Do you think that the topics vary enough? I know the directions seem to imply that they want samples of different types of writing. We really don't teach poetry in our current curriculum, but I could have them write a narrative for one of their samples if two opinion pieces is not varied enough. Please let me know what you think:) Thank you!!!
