Question: How is composing a writing assignment by a teacher like writing itself?
Answer: “Writing teachers face challenges similar to those that students face when composing a writing assignment. We have to identify audience, purpose and voice. We have to decide on the best structure and format. We have to determine the time frame and point out the resources that will help students complete the assignment. Clearly composing writing assignments is no simple charge.” Traci Gardner.
Comment: If used as a model for composing the students will use when they write, I think this technique of composing a writing assignment is useful. RayS.
