Summary: Very straightforward approach to teaching comp
Comment: Lindemann's book is well organized and developed, and provides many practial examples of the theories she discusses. If you had to pick one book to use for a teaching comp class, this would be the one to pick. For a more in-depth study, combine this book with Irene Clark's "Concepts in Composition," which is a more theoretical and historically-based explanation of composition concepts.

Rating: 5
Summary: Valuable resource for composition teachers
Comment: One of the best background texts for the writing instructor--secondary or college-level. It will provide the knowledge that brings confidence and understanding to the beginning instructor, and it is worth going back to again and again.

Rating: 2
Summary: Simple
Comment: The problem with this book is that it takes a fairly simple approach to teaching writing, even though teaching writing is quite complicated and difficult. Also, the book doesn't say enough about ESL writers or writers with dialects. Finally, I couldn't find any discussion of the fact that writing skills in our schools have declined even as research in writing has increased. Overall, I would say that this is a "feel-good" book that doesn't address the hard issues of writing instruction.
