[quote=Anonymous]I teach college, and I don't teach freshman English, but we don't explicitly use 5-paragraph form in anything I teach or anything I know about. I can see the influence of this form when I assign very short papers, though - I think the students default to it when it seems to fit the space, and they do mention it from time to time. The problem is that it is so formulaic they don't tend to think when they're doing it. I completely agree that the earlier it can be taught, the better, so that students have plenty of time to learn to expand _away_ from it in HS.[/quote]
