Your Challenge
This wiki contains a Constructing Meaning Webquest made of three (3) modules, which will be completed over a period of three (3) days. You have been provided various types of writing examples and thinking tasks associated with them. Your task is to critically evaluate these writing samples, and use what we have leaned in class about parts of speech, clauses, and sentence types to come to conclusions about how authors are achieving specific effects.
