debate! debate! debate! everyone has an opinion on this, including all of the people who wrote articles that we read for this week. we all know that five paragraph essays can be compared to so many things. you just have to know how to do them, but you shouldn't have to write that way all of the time. as future educators we should be aware of the fact that our students need to know how to write 5 paragraph essays as part of their cultural literacy, however, we need to make sure that they are well versed in other types of writing. multigenre in the house! make sure to keep it real with some romano style stuff so that no one gets too bored. i'll save the saucy stuff for the debate!
resource of the week: www.webenglishteacher.com/multigenre, a nice list of some resources for implementing multigenre writing in the classroom, just incase romano didn't give you enough to work with...

Debate is right, my friend. It seems that there are so few people willing to take things in proper moderation these days. We've got a very useful tool in the 5 paragraphs, but because some lack proper curriculum writing skills, its been over done... and in response, we get debate. I'm interested in hearing more of your "saucy stuff" otherwise reserved for the class period I so unfortunately missed out on.
In the house and stuff,
Rob
