Templates have often received a bad rep, with many teachers believing it can stifle a students creative thought process. &#8220;that some instructors \u00a0may have reservations about templates. Some, for instance, may object that some formulaic devices represent a return to prescriptive forms of instruction that encourage passive learning or lead students to put their writing on automatic pilot&#8221;(Birkenstein xxii). In some ways these teachers may be correct, but to most students subconsciously it is harder to pick out the intellectual writing moves without a template provided.
