4th Grade Essay

Postby mal » Thu Jul 05, 2012 9:15 pm

My son is in Grade 4.
I have problems checking my son's essays as we are not familiar with the scoring system.
We are using American Curriculum.
Furthermore, English is our second language.
So I want to know how the parents mark their child's essays?
How many words and paragraphs should be written for Grade 4 essay? Please help, we are new to America Curriculum.

There are so many other fun things to write other than essays. He could write a just so story, a comic strip, poetry, a mystery, a brochure about an interesting place, or a book review. There are lots more suggestions here in these two articles.

The most important and underrated factor in a writer’s success is discipline. Talent and luck always help, but having a consistent writing practice is often the difference between aspiring writers and published writers.That’s where creative writing exercises and prompts can help. Writing prompts provide writers with a starting place, an entry point into their writing practice. Sometimes creative writing prompts and exercises result in a workable draft of a story or poem.
