In Lindemann’s text, we find information on Linguistics,
Syntax, Words, and Rewriting. All in all these topics aid in teaching
Composition from the Process model. However, the general feeling from them has
me believing that we are not only teaching Composition at a learned level, but
also basic syntax. While this is a part of Composition, I felt as though our
target students went from being High School/College to Elementary. Is the teaching
of Composition something that involves aiding students in unlearning the things
that got them through their primary learning years? Or are we to assume that
our students know nothing? While I welcome any and all knowledge in pursuit of
my own, I cannot help but feel like Lindemann wrote a book for all ages and
levels of study. This perturbs me because I no longer feel like I am being
specifically prepared for higher-level teaching, but am learning umbrella
tactics for all students.
