- Summary:
-
Critical thinking needs to be incorporated into composition instruction to compel students to question the text, the topic, and the teacher so that they will be better prepared to perform writing tasks in content areas. The analytic skills of revision and coherence are the most troublesome for the basic writer. Providing the student with models of the analytic approach to analyzing text, demonstrating through exercises the benefit of revision, and providing exercises to demonstrate and improve the coherence of a passage of text will aid the basic writer in developing such skills.
