520 _a"Composition-Rhetoric" by Stratton D. Brooks and Marietta Hubbard is an instructional text on writing and rhetoric first published in the early 20th century. The book aims to empower students to express their ideas clearly and effectively in writing, emphasizing the importance of developing good writing habits and the joy of composition rather than merely focusing on literary criticism or rhetorical theory. The opening of this work outlines its fundamental objectives and pedagogical philosophy. The authors assert that writing ability improves with practice, encouraging students to write new themes instead of merely correcting old ones. They emphasize that effective expression stems from personal experience, imagination, or language, and they stress fostering a supportive environment where students feel confident sharing their work. The chapters include guidance on various writing forms—narration, description, exposition, and argument—each designed to correspond to the student’s developmental needs and maturity. Overall, the beginning sets a constructive tone for teaching writing as a vital and enjoyable skill. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
