[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Example: On SOL, my daughter-an excellent writer--bombed out on the pre-writing. I asked her why: She said, "They want me to do mind-mapping, and I can't be bothered with that." She did it naturally in her head and did not want to do it on paper.[/quote] AS a writing teacher, I can tell you there are very few writers who write well without pre-writing; it is part of the writing process and needs to be demonstrated. Even if your daughter felt there was no value to mind-mapping and she is above it, there IS value in following instructions. Your daughter may not want to "be bothered," and she may not want to be bothered with the work her teachers, professors, and bosses require from her later in life, and that is fine. But there are consequences to picking and choosing which instructions you will follow.[/quote]
