[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why aren’t all 7th grade honor and aap students required to write a personal narrative first quarter? That was the Prince William standard in sixth grade to write a 3 page typed personal narrative. My kid is in 7th and didn’t do it in 6th or 7th yet. They’ve never written more than a page of anything. [/quote] Because narrative writing is extremely low level. AAP and Honors students should be writing in more challenging formats such as persuasive and expository.[/quote] I start with narrative because it is familiar to them from elementary. It also lends itself to the unit theme we are supposed to teach first quarter. We do persuasive during 2nd quarter because it lends itself to nonfiction text analysis. [/quote]
