Wow I recall that lesson, fun stuff. Go to this website. Make sure you don't print this out when or if he sees the bears he will think "this is baby stuff," so cut and paste. Good luck and I am sure he will get it!

Gladys Said:

Why do they teach that a paragraph is 4-5 or 3-5 sentences when that is incorrect?

We Answered:

Although a paragraph can consist of just one sentence, most of the papers and essays that you write in school usually involve stating a thesis and supporting that thesis. Therefore, each paragraph in support of that thesis will probably need more than one sentence for you to develop the idea and provide support for it.

To conform to Standard English, students are taught that sentences begin with capital letters and contain the appropriate punctuation marks. If you don't want to use capital letters or punctuation marks for stylistic reasons, you can do so but it would be best suited for creative writing pieces. If you have to write papers for school or formal business letters, I would strongly recommend that you use the capital letters and punctuation marks. Unfortunately, if you don't, some people might perceive you as being uneducated.

Katrina Said:

I need links to free scholarly articles concerning effectiveness of methods to teach paragraph writing.?

We Answered:

I searched under ''paragraph writing instruction'' on Google and Google Scholar. These three links have materials. The first two are how-to's (sorry). The last one is about teaching writing to students with moderate disabilities. You could argue that breaking down the components to their most elemental levels and then providing systematic, direct instruction helps all learners, so you looked into writing instruction issues for students with disabilities. Then you can cite some of the authors in the third link below. (excerpt):

''Results suggest that, compared to the traditional language arts curriculum used with a comparison group, the experimental treatment was significantly more effective in developing the metacognitive abilities of 6th graders with learning disabilities for prewriting planning, composition, and revision.''

Lois Said:

plz revise the short paragraph plz its urgent?

We Answered:

The first problem that jumps out at me is with idioms. "We are living in A world," not "THE world," is how such a statement is usually phrased. In your third sentence, "lose my nerve" makes no sense. "Lose my edge," maybe? I'm not completely sure what you mean. "On the other hand," in the next sentence, isn't a logical choice either - this is a phrase that is typically used to show that your sentence contradicts the one before it, when what you are in fact doing is providing another example of the same idea. "Similarly, many mothers..." (a better choice than "moms" in formal writing) would be a better way to go. Actually, that whole sentence is a little clunky; I'd word it more like, "Similarly, many mothers have their children tutored in writing in order to brag about their children's high grades." In your original sentence, your meaning is clear, but what your sentence actually says is that the children are going to brag about their children. Watch those participles! As for your concluding sentence, what about, "Our lives are influenced by our perceptions of friends and celebrities." ? It doesn't make a lot of sense to say that our lives are influenced by ourselves.

This is more a pet peeve than anything, but as you are clearly a decent writer, why did you list your question the way you did? Proper punctuation and actual words (please instead of plz! always!) are more likely to get people to heed your requests.
