This text is a comprehensive survey of theories, research, and methods associated with teaching composition successfully. It begins with a discussion of the historical factors that have shaped today's composition instruction, by tracing the development of rhetoric from ancient Greece through contemporary strands defined by modernism, romanticism, and postmodernism. This is followed by chapters on models for teacher writing; the classroom as a writing workshop; the role that reading plays in effective writing; style; English as a second language and nonstandard English; the psychology of writing; writing assignments and assessing writing as the most important factors in evaluation--including a step-by-step guide to implementing holistic and portfolio assessment. Relevant for composition teachers at all levels, this text is particularly useful for preservice and in-service English and language arts teachers at the middle and secondary levels. Other features include: * thorough discussions of English as a second language and nonstandard English--topics that are increasingly vital to effective teaching; * insightful treatment of Black English Vernacular (Ebonics); * consideration of the psychology of writing in light of the current emphasis on critical thinking skills in our schools; * examination of the validity of the critical thinking focus of instruction used in many classrooms; and * useful pedagogical aids--including chapter overviews; prompts creative writing and composition,education,education and reference,foreign language study and reference,humanities,instruction methods,language arts,linguistics,literature,pedagogy Linguistics, Routledge<
