[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For all of DD's subjects, she has not been required to write more than 1-2 sentences for a response.  In English so far, she has written 1 paragraph all year.

She is in the "advanced" english class. She's not in the higher level history class- so she may have gotten more writing if she did this.

Even in the standard social studies courses, she should have written full paragraph responses by 6th grade and multi paragraph responses by 7th grade. In 6th and 7th grade, this is the common writing task.

In 6th grade, it is whether Hammurabi’s Code was just.

In 7th grade, it’s Inca modifying their environment.

Ask her teacher why students didn’t do the MP1 CWT.  There might be a legitimate reason like it is coming next week. Cutting it close to the edge, but doable. It also could be that students did a different authentic assessment. [/quote]

OP- after I started this post, she did write her second paragraph this year with Hammurabi's code.  I hope the pace picks up from this point through the remainder of the year with the writing expectations. [/quote]
