Addie Education I have a free and fun expository writing assignment posted on Teachers Pay Teachers - help yourself and enjoy working through it with your students. Students work on creating a themed newspaper - they can pick the theme. Includes assignment sheet, brainstorming sheet and marking rubric. [link removed]
