Formal v informal writing: What's the difference?

Instructions:

1. You can work in pairs or on your own.
2. Choose either 'Task A' or 'Task B.' You need to work only on the task you have chosen.
3. Create a Google Doc to do the task.
4. Once you have finished writing your task, share the file with another classmate/pair.
5. After you receive the file from another classmate, proofread it and make the necessary changes to finally share the file with your teacher (descriptivewriting2013@gmail.com).
