Topic: Writing in Upper Elementary Grades



Question: Were upper-elementary-grade students taught to write in class in 1983?

Answer: “Found that students had few writing opportunities, that there was little classroom discussion prior to writing and that self-initiated writing was not fostered.” MA Diamond. 1983. 417. [Comment: True today? 2010? RayS.]
