[quote=Anonymous]There's a "research" unit starting in...third (I think?) every year. At our school both my 4th and 6th grader are moving into it. That does not look like a research essay as you might remember it. My kids did learn to make citations in fourth, though. In fifth there's a big research group project that - at our school at least - was done as a web page but was somewhat structured like an essay with a thesis and supporting points. However the teacher [b]never taught[/b] my kid how to actually support a thesis, so I ended up teaching her and she ended up attempting to explain it to her group mates. I think they lost more points for poor web navigation by the person running the computer during the presentation than anything writing-related. At our school at least there is a lack of instruction on sentence structure, paragraph structure, and essay structure in general.[/quote]
