"Regarding the Old Adobe writing preparation, we're seeing our students with a more consistent understanding of the structure of an essay - 5 paragraph. Also, there's an understanding of the role that a thesis plays in an essay. The Old Adobe district writing program provides a clear foundation that complements our own writing program and allows us to build on it with deeper critical and analytical thought. The visual arts program also trains the students to analyze a text, seeking both meaning and evidence - all important to the kinds of essays they write in junior high and high school."
