Sequence in Writing Types

Question: What is a logical sequence in learning types of writing?

Answer: The author believes that writing instruction should start with narrative because it is most personal and familiar. Then the students should move to expository writing and, finally, to persuasive writing.

Comment: An interesting sequence in types of writing. Keep in mind that narrative is often a big part of expository and even of persuasive writing. RayS.
