[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My daughter, in advanced 7th grade English, was told to make an Instagram post about a book she read. NOT HAPPY. Too many powerpoint presentations, not enough essays. [/quote] Yikes! [/quote] So I wouldn't be happy about the social media piece of this at all but I wouldn't mind the genre and format-switching. I feel like kids end up being resistant to the word "essay" so anytime you mix it up and give them some other format to write in, it helps. For example, writing a series of journal entries about a fictional historical character in order to demonstrate knowledge of historical events. [/quote]
