This document provides a calendar for Mrs. Damani's technical writing class for March through May. It outlines the schedule for SAT practice tests and drills, with homework assignments like blog posts and flashcards due each week. In April, students will work on a class publication and their own writing pieces. The month of May focuses on a multi-genre project where students choose their own theme to incorporate different genres like poems and stories. Presentations of the multi-genre projects will take place in the last two weeks along with reviews for the final exam.
