Just be aware that this is teaching the basic (and VERY boring!) 5-paragraph essay. That's fine, so far as it goes. But it is not college-level writing. It would probably be great for an 8-12yo.

The program doesn't deal with handling opposing viewpoints, refuting alternative solutions to the same problem, or any sort of analysis that is remotely complex. The reason you can have a computer program generate an essay like this so easily is because it's a formula.

The 5-paragraph theme does seem to get past many a high school teacher with nary a look askance, however. frown
