[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m a middle school English teacher. I sometimes have my students write pretend Tweets or Instagram captions where they pretend to be the character of the book we’re reading. [/quote] Please, please teach my kid to diagram a sentence, write a proper paragraph, and complete a five paragraph essay instead. Once you've done that, teach her to write a full-length analytical or research paper. I'd much rather her have to think in long form, slowly and deeply, than short and quick. Instant reactions like tweets or Instagram (look, instant's in the name!) captions are killing society.[/quote]
