Talk:Five paragraph essay

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] NPOV

I'm feeling this article is swayed to the negative point of view. Does anyone else think it lacks balance of views? Elfalem 03:45, 1 October 2006 (UTC)

I can see what you mean sort of. I'm not sure why, but I really don't think the article is written well as a whole, especially the later parts. I do think it is rather negative towards the 5-paragraph format though.Salur 05:52, 11 October 2006 (UTC)

O pfff, I thought this page was vandalised.... yeah, but... how do YOU have "critic" of an essay format, it's seemingly efficient.... LOL —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.158.75.220 (talk • contribs)

This article gets an "F". Not only are there only three paragraphs, but there's no clear thesis and the first paragraph failed to grab my attention. Re-write it and re-submit it next week, and I'll consider bumping it up to a "D".

I know talk pages aren't supposed to serve as forums, but I just have to say that this type of essay is idiotic and shouldn't be taught after 6th grade. I'm a senior and I still have to deal with this shit.--MKnight9989 14:39, 26 November 2007 (UTC)

Well of course it's biased, it's probably written by someone who deals with them a lot. Most people dealing with education on either end end up either writing or grading a hell of a lot of these.
