2. Scholastic Letter to Congress: Write a letter to Congress arguing that veterans should be given the chance to adopt the military dogs they worked with. Should be a minimum of 400 words with facts cited.
3. Scholastic Invention Contest: Write between 300 and 500 words on what you believe is the most important invention to mankind. Trace the history of the invention and how it has evolved. Create a timeline to accompany the piece.
