MGK Posted August 5, 2010 Share Posted August 5, 2010 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
