OBJECTIVE: Writing is a multi-process. Our quiz this week will assess how well you have mastered the pre-writing stage, and the art of taking a visual text (image), studying that text, and deciding what is happening or what may be going on in that image.  Further, we are assessing your mastery of how well you support your claim with evidence.
The Common Core standard addressed:  RL.X.1 Cite the textual evidence that most strongly supports an analysis of what the text says explicitly as well as inferences drawn from the text
