[quote=Anonymous]No, they should not. Kindergarten students should be able to write 2-3 sentences about the same topic. First grade should be able to write a paragraph, WITH SUPPORT. (I taught my low income, ESL kids how to do this with lots and lots of scaffolding, talking through ideas, using sentence frames and graphic organizers, etc.) Second grade should be able to write a decently formed paragraph independently (for the most part). Third grade should be able to write a few paragraphs on a topic. Fourth and fifth graders should be able to write a 5 paragraph essay, WITH SUPPORT. [/quote]
