I have to write a lesson plan for a college class. I chose 5th grade English. The only problem is that no schools will tell me the normal word count for 5th grade essays. PLEASE help me, I just thought about it and it's due tomorrow....please and thank you!

Sorry, best I can do is refer you to readability grading. I've used these before as a technical writer to target material to specific reading grade levels (typically 9th to 12th grade). See links.
(MS Word has a built-in reading grade level calculator.)
