‍‍‍‍‍‍Learning Target/Task Analysis

Fourth grade students are expected to produce writing that is clear and understandable to the reader. Task (type of writing assignment) and purpose (the writer‟s designated reason for writing) should be reflected in the student‟s organization and development of a topic.
With assistance from adults and peers, students should develop revising and editing skills. In order to do so, students need to understand how to change word choice and sentence structure in their writing to strengthen their piece. They need assistance with planning for writing using graphic organizers (story frames, story mountains, story maps). They also need to develop the ability to recognize spelling, grammar, and punctuation errors and have strategies for correcting these errors with assistance (conferences, check sheets, peer editing).
Students in fourth grade are developing strategies with peers and adults to use digital tools. At this grade level, they should not only use technology for producing and publishing writing, but also to collaborate with others. Fourth grade students are required to be proficient in keyboarding skills (typing at least one page in a single setting).
