Writing question..how long should this take?

A question for those of you who feel confident in giving writing assignments:

 

How much time should I allow for my 7th grade son to complete a five paragraph report. Last year, I gave him 5 days:

day 1- decide on topic sentences and gather resources

day 2- write key word outline (we use IEW method)

day 3- rough draft

day 4- write intro/conclusion

day 5- edit and turn in final copy for grading

 

This seems like a long time, since it only ends up being one page or less of writing by the time all is said and done. What is a reasonable expectation for middle school?

 

Thanks in advance for your help,

 

Melanie
