[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My 6th grader has not yet done it in either "Advanced" English or HIGH. They seem to write 1-paragraph "essays."[/quote] I teach high school English. Sometimes it is preferable to spend most of the year on thesis statements and paragraphs than to have kids who lack those skills write terrible one page essays. It will only reinforce bad habits. Then we work our way up to lines of reasoning and organization in longer essays. There are kids arriving in high school really unprepared.[/quote]
