    2001. One definition of madness is "mental delusion or the eccentric behavior arising from it." But Emily Dickinson wrote Much madness is divinest Sense- To a discerning Eye- Novelists and playwrights have often seen madness with a "discerning Eye." Select a novel or play in which a character's apparent madness or irrational behavior plays an important role. Then write a well-organized essay in which you explain what this delusion or eccentric behavior consists of and how it might be judged reasonable. Explain the significance of the "madness" to the work as a whole. Do not merely summarize the plot.

      So they were going to a WAC/WID curriculum? Makes sense.
  • a coherent, well-turned paragraph

      So they just didn't know how to think? No one had taught them to think. Cf. Philips-Exeter and the Harkness table.

      The skills underlying good writing--not just formalism?
  • To be able to think critically and express that thinking, it’s where we are going,”
  • the importance of formal writing instruction
  • constructing personal narratives, memoirs, and small works of fiction—
  • write informative and persuasive essays.

  • "It is strange that we expect students to learn, yet seldom teach them anything about learning."
  • "We should be teaching students how to think. Instead, we are teaching them what to think."
  • "Many 17-year-olds do not possess the 'higher-order' intellectual skills we should expect of them. Nearly 40 percent cannot draw inferences from written material; only one-fifth can write a persuasive essay; and only one-third can solve a mathematics problem requiring several steps."

  • Critical thinking can be described as the scientific method applied by ordinary people to the ordinary world.
  • Critical thinking is a learned ability that must be taught. Most individuals never learn it. Critical thinking cannot be taught reliably to students by peers or by most parents. Trained and knowledgable instructors are necessary to impart the proper information and skills.
  • Critical thinking means correct thinking in the pursuit of relevant and reliable knowledge about the world.

paperless English teaching

shared by Cindy Marston on 17 Mar 09 - Cached
  • paper management questions are logical, legitimate questions to ask, I will suggest that as teachers we should be asking instead, must we continue to think of our role as paper creators, paper controllers, paper graders?  
  • Essay writing skill is one of the greatest gifts I can help my students to achieve.  I am not willing to change that belief but I have become quite willing to embrace changes in the way the process looks. 
  • I have stopped seeing work as stagnant…completed and submitted by students and then graded by me.
