[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] Then their high school and college teachers need to unteach this formulaic writing. Knowing the five-paragraph formula is not a skill.[/quote] Really? It got me through high school, college applications, and even most of my college classes. Most academic papers I've ever written were, if not exactly a five paragraph essay, organized according to the basic principles of introduction, carefully chosen focused paragraphs thoroughly but succinctly covering one key point each, and a brief but tight conclusion. Having a template to follow seems like a reasonable idea to me... [/quote]
