[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m a 5th grade teacher. There are essays with rubrics for every unit. The first unit (corn) was an informative essay comparing industrial farms & small farms. The current unit (character relationships) has an essay prompt about recommending or not recommending the author Jason Reynolds. The students need to give reasons why and prove with evidence from the texts. This is what every 5th grader in fcps is doing. It’s a set program and in our pacing guide. If your teacher isn’t doing this, get admin involved. You need to ask to see their Unit 1 essay with the graded rubric. Unit 2 should be done in a couple of weeks. Your student should have received the prompt and started filling in the graphic organizer by now.[/quote] +1 This is how it's working. I'm not a fan of Benchmark so far for lots of reasons, but it's not skimpy on writing.[/quote]
