[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can anyone provide some information about how much writing is expected? Will the students be expected to write reports, essays and papers? Will the teacher provide detailed feedback? My rising 7th grader does not seem to have much English assignment, be it vocabulary or writing so we have grave concerns about this so called AAP program. We have no clues so any feedback will be much appreciated. [/quote] Is your kid currently in 6th? You said rising 7th grader. [/quote] Yes. [/quote] 6th grade AAP teacher here. Your kid should be writing a lot with benchmark. Each 3 week unit includes an essay, plus a ton of short answer responses. The unit test includes another essay as well. As for vocab? The vocab instruction is more spelling instruction at this point. My kids also have a spelling test each week of benchmark. 7th grade is structured differently and kids won’t be doing benchmark next year. [/quote]
