ReplyDeleteI very much like how you stress the importance of staying organized and clear throughout an essay. Based on what you hope your students will be able to understand and do, I take it that this is one of the main goals that you want your students walking away with. Your essential questions are a great way to begin a class discussion to make sure all students understand the importance of proper essay structures and how to go about it.
