“ Our textbook boils effectively writing down to a few steps. It devotes pages and pages to the composition of a compare-and-contrast with lots of examples and tips and checklists.” How do you grade a writing assignment? Then it was graded by punctuation, grammar, sentence structure. Now it is graded on thought and how you addressed the assignment. Now you need to use your own thought and not just summarize the subject.

They know the jist of the story. “The intellectually ambitious scarecrow proudly mangles the Pyhtagorean theorem and is awarded a questionable diploma in a dreamland for removed from reality.”
