I've read something similar in sente...Interesting. I've read something similar in sentence parsing...cumulative sentences, etc. (which I found mostly a turnoff). In the past, I looked at methods like these as really mechanistic (even more so than the 5-paragraph essay we discussed below), but I can imagine this approach could be useful because it allows students to think in hierarchies of ideas. I teach a lot of tech writing, and I find the heavy emphasis on headings helps a lot...until the students reach the research paper, when they still show a lot of problems synthesizing ideas in an orderly fashion. I could imagine this would help students say, "Oh, this idea is a subset/devlopment of that point." Very interesting approach.<BR/><BR/>PeterPerfesser Slaughterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18121044187510013809noreply@blogger.com
