Our students will serve as apprentices to the great writers and great stories of history.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStudents are often expected to write with no clear model before them. Modern composition scolds traditional writing instruction as rote and unimaginative. It takes imitation to task for a lack of freedom and personal expression. And yet, effective communication from writer to reader always requires some sort of form and structure. Many of history’s greatest writers learned by imitation. In other words, writing takes the same kind of determined study as ballet or diving. Creativity uses conventional form as a stage or a springboard from which to launch grand\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003ejetés\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eand somersaults. Too often students are expected to tackle complex writing assignments without learning the necessary intermediate steps. The assumption is that because most everyone can speak English well enough to be understood, and form letters with a pencil, that everyone should be able to write well. Yet how many of us would expect a child to sit at a piano, without piano lessons, and play a concerto?
