HappyGrace Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 (edited) http://www.thefivefingerparagraph.com/ It looks like an easy way to teach the five-paragraph essay, but I'm wondering if it is considered "inferior quality" writing to use a formulaic approach like this. AND what would this type of writing be best for--- just test situations? If it's no good, what resource do you like better for teaching three or five-paragraph essay? Would you say going with teaching how to do a strong 3-5 paragraph essay is the backbone of logic stage academic writing? (Okay, maybe "backbone" is a little strong, but dd11 is also doing outlining, and has done 4 yrs of IEW already-trying to figure out what is most important to cover next to give a broad base in logic stage.) (ETA:I did find this thread that has a few essay writing program ideas. http://www.welltrainedmind.com/forums/showthread.php?t=252647) Edited March 14, 2011 by HappyGrace Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
