WRITING

Posted by Denilya Barrett

Writing Schedule

Students will be writing in their journals every day in class plus a page each night at home. They will write responses to stories we are reading, share experiences they have had, record observations, and more. Students will then choose a story they are interested in developing and we will work through brainstorming, drafting, revising, editing, and the final draft.

Fourth graders must be able to produce a five paragraph essay with an introduction, 3 body paragraphs, and a conclusion.

District Writing

Each quarter the district tests students on a different form of writing.
  • 1st: Expository
  • 2nd: Persuasive
  • 3rd: Expressive
  • 4th: Expository
