Synopsis
Excerpt from English Composition, Vol. 1
Third, expression cannot be compelled; it must be coaxed. Only under favorable conditions can we expect that reaction of intellect and emotion which renders possible a full expres sion of self. One of the most important of these favorable conditions is that the pupil shall write something he wishes to write, for an audience that wishes to hear it. There fore the subjects suggested are those in which high-school pupils are interested and about which they wish to write. It is hoped that the teacher will so conduct the work that every theme will be read aloud to the class. The criticism of a theme so read should, as far as possible, be compli mentary, pointing out and emphasizing that which the pupil has done well; and destructive criticism should, in general, be impersonal and directed toward a single definite point. Only by this means may we avoid personal embarrassment to the pupil, give him confidence in himself, and assure him of a sympathetic audience all of which conditions are essential to the effective teaching of composition.
