[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] These examples could also be 10th grade writing or college level writing. [/quote] Well, the foundation of writing clearly starts in grades 3 and 4, and you build from there. Students should grow though in their writing ability. In fourth grade you would expect fairly formulaic writing, short sentences with maybe one transition word, and ideas that are not well developed. IN addition, 4th graders would be expected to have a fourth grade vocabulary. By 8th or 10th grade, of course students should be able to stay on topic and use main idea and details. However, they'd be expected to me more sophisticated in their reasoning. You'd expect multiple paragraphs. The content and vocabulary should be more refined. They might alternate viewpoints -- anticipating their opponents thoughts and arguments, and rebutting them. So while these 4th grade standards prepare kids for high school writing, there is still a lot they have to learn. [/quote]
