Beyond the Five-Paragraph Essay

Kimberly Hill Campbell BA ’79, MAT ’94, associate professor of teacher education, and Kristi Latimer MAT ’04 examine the research surrounding the five-paragraph essay and find the form restricts creativity and leads to vapid writing. In their book, they show teachers how to reclaim the literary essay and create a program that encourages thoughtful, lively writing.
