Jane Schaffer
Jane Schaffer is an educator who provides curriculum guides and workshops for instructors in the subject of English composition that are used by a number of U.S. secondary schools. In its initial stages, the format of writing is rigid, and this has created controversy. Opinions vary from the positive (it helps those students who simply do not know how to organize an essay) to negative (it is contrived and limits the creativity of students who May Be able to veer from the formula).
Regardless, the Schaffer essay is a popular means of educating late middle school and early high school students in basic components of literary proficiency.
