5 Paragraph Essay Forum

Mr. Healey:

I can understand your concern regarding the five-paragraph essay format. Although the five-paragraph format may feel rigid to some students, this form does suppply a clear and concise method of conveying information and understanding. We at the College Board believe that this form of writing is effective and easily assessed, two criteria necessary for academic work. As a result, the ACT has begun to include a writing section that a student may use to display his or her writing skills. We feel that this skill is a necessary part of assessing a student's writing ability.

Thank you for your time.

Sincerely,

I think that you need to be more of a man in the relationship. Take the Endowment for the arts people for example. We have manly matches of "Apple to Apple" and croquet
