Recommended: Theories of teaching writing skills

As we once were children, at one time or another we all were required to learn how to read and write. Many of us were taught these skills at various different school locations around the country. Thus, going from one grade to another; starting with grade school and ending in college. Our abilities to comprehend a book and the ability to compose a paper properly has been altered many times over the years. The author’s critical argument in this essay is that a student is first taught how to write a standard essay in school. The style of the essay and the requirements change over time and so does what is needed for the essay. Then when it comes to high school and college students composing a paper for college it is mostly used for entertainment …show more content…

Not saying that every student has responded the exact same way while learning how to write an essay. Due to that some students grasp the concepts more quickly versus some need extra time and encouragement. Thus, in the end it leaves these out the assumption that every college student has had enough time to actively develop their creativity and personal style to properly use correct grammar in an essay; and have it make sense to its readers.
I fully agree with the author’s agreement due to that I have seen the difference between grade school, high school, and college writing skills. In elementary school, children are being taught how the student’s state is requiring them to learn how to write an essay. Thus, allowing the students to have a firm foundation of technique and style, but little creativity when it comes to assignments. A student in either in high school or college should have a firm set of writing skills by this point. At this point they should know how to interpret an assignment and how they will tackle it. In the end going from high school to college, their styles change rapidly and there are many chances for students to improve more on their creativity and their personal writing

  • Unteaching The Five Paragraph Essay By Marie Foley

    336 Words  | 1 Pages

    “Unteaching the Five Paragraph Essay” by Marie Foley demonstrates how a five paragraph essay formula disturbs the thought process of the students and limits what they can write. A five paragraph essay is an introduction with the main idea, with three supporting topics showing the relationship to the main idea, and a conclusion summarizing the entire essay. Foley argues that this formula forces students to fill in the blank and meet a certain a word limit. She noted that this formula was intended for teachers in the education system to teach an overcrowded class how to write. While it is beneficial for the first-time students learning how to write. In the long run, this standard destroys any free style writing, new connections between a topic,

  • Linda Brodkey's Essay 'Writing On The Bias'

    956 Words  | 2 Pages

    One quote that stood out to me was “I was struggling to express increasingly complex ideas, and I couldn’t get the language straight: words, as in my second sentence on tragedy, piled up like cars in a serial wreck” (2). This reminds me of when my parents would always tell me to keep writing during my younger stages. Sometimes, through my essays I would give up because the words that are in my head wouldn’t spill out. So, I would become stuck and would consistently ask for help. I literally felt like I was stuck behind traffic, and couldn’t get out until an hour later. However, one good point brought up by Bailey was “I believe that school writing and personal writing are completely different, where school writing can be right or wrong but person writing can be anything without any consequence.” I feel like school writing can play a big role in how one may decided to use their words. If there’s a big essay due; there is a high chance that expressing high complexed ideas would be a lot more harder; than through personal writing because the ‘A’ is a lot more important than actually understanding the context. Another quote I agreed with was, “developing writes will grow… if they are able to write for people who are willing to sit with them and help them as they struggle to write about difficult things” (2). This goes along with my

  • Jean Anyon Essay On Social Class

    We would do research on a subject or a person, and write about them. We, once again, were not allowed to be unique in our writing or think creatively or critically. This is the time when I was taught the five paragraph essay. As stated in Gray’s article, the five paragraph essay is detrimental to students’ writing. This format for writing is damaging because it doesn’t allow students to express their own ideas about a topic. It does not allow for any creativity or uniqueness in a paper. In tenth grade, I wrote many papers for my English class, but I never once got an A on them. I was led to believe that my writing was weak because I could not relate to what I was writing about. I did not have any emotional connection to the research papers I had to write, and it made it harder for me to write them. I had grown up not being allowed to think critically, and therefore, my papers in high school lacked creativity and deeper

  • Stanley Fish, What Should Colleges Teach?

    1361 Words  | 3 Pages

    Many times, high school students are assigned to write essays based on inspirational figures or literature read in class, often requiring the same rhetoric following fastidious rules of English and sprinkling decorative wording across pages. Obeying the formats demanded by teachers is easy enough, but it is not creatively challenging. Author of "What Should Colleges Teach?", Stanley Fish, claims it is to learn the proper ways of composition alone that allows students to flourish; however, I question if it is possible to follow these principles too closely. Can it be so that the curriculum being taught in high schools fail to allow students to realize the potential creativity that can be involved when writing? Instead students are possibly turned

This exile is irrevocable, since he has no memories of a lost homeland and no hope of a promised land’” (Moser).

    Writing is an important part of everyone’s life, whether we use it in school, in the workplace, as a hobby or in personal communication.

Formal writing forms like essays, research papers, and articles stimulates critically thinking. This helps the writer to learn how to interpret the world around him/her in a meaningful way.

  • Paulo Freire The Banking Concept Of Education Analysis

    926 Words  | 2 Pages

    Godshall taught us to follow a standardized essay format. She reinforced the five paragraph essay format that we had learned in middle school because it was a clear and concise layout that was easy to grade. She also knew that the five-paragraph format was used on the Keystone exams, the PSSAs, and in twelfth grade English class. It would be hard to break away from the five-paragraph essay format completely because we had used it for all of high school and most of middle school before that course. Freire might argue against these teachings because when a student is forced to use only one format for essays. They lack the freedom to figure out different ways of writing and what layouts work best with different types of essays. Then, when the have to write a paper later in life they may struggle to break out of the set essay mold they have been taught, thus inhibiting their writing abilities for further development. In Freire’s essay The ‘Banking’ Concept of Education, he emphasizes the need for consciousness in the class room to prevent the students from becoming comatose information “receptors” (Freire 2). I liked how the five- paragraph essay setup was clear for students because it taught them how to write to satisfy all their teachers in high school, even though it would be considered banking. This essay format has not hindered me as a writer but instead helped me develop my composition skills. Not worrying about the format of the essay has freed me to concentrate more on
