I teach a low level composition class designed to prepare students for a higher level composition course. The teacher of this higher level course and I have debated about the best way to prepare students to write. After reading your article, I realize now that I fall into the Part to Whole camp, while my colleague falls into the Whole to Part camp. No wonder we were debating! Thank you for making these concepts so simple. Sincerely, Ann Your excellent article cleared up my confusion on knowing what is the best way to teach composition.
