Language Arts Third Grade Competency Goal 5 The learner will apply grammar and language conventions to communicate effectively.
 * 5.03** Demonstrate understanding by using a variety of complete sentences (declarative, imperative, interrogative, and exclamatory) in writing and speaking.
 * 5.04** Compose two or more paragraphs with:
 * topic sentences.
 * supporting details.
 * appropriate, logical sequence.
 * sufficient elaboration.

Writing allows students to reflect on their learning and to expand and select the appropriate vocabulary to express their thoughts. Through writing students also are allowed to be creative and to activate their critical thinking skills. Writing requires students to make inferences, synthesize information and to be an active participant in their learning.

Writing is not solely beneficial in the language arts curriculum as teachers have found writing on math learning is also effective.
