Students need the foundation that a writing process classroom provides for these lessons to be truly effective. Eighth and tenth grade language arts classes are the suggested target audience. It is worthwhile saving the activities in this document for those grade levels. Other grade levels in a department may use some of the Thirty Days to FCAT Writing Success activities, as long as it is part of an overall, intentional, department-wide plan. 5
