What is Composition?
Simply, composition is writing. However, it is not necessary for the term composition to be limited to a particular genre or style of writing. In addition, it need not be formal in diction or tone. Yet, it is important for composition to have organization and several key ideas or points. Without organization or main idea, the piece will seem to lack purpose and the reader will be less able to understand the work. Although basic, an introduction, thesis and conclusion will aid in presenting the meaning of the composition.

Composition is writing, and it's the process of teaching writing. Writing takes multiple forms of modality, of course, and delivery, and therefore teaching of writing gets a lot more complex. All of these forms have to do with meeting the needs of multiple types of audiences who have different levels of interest and time.
ReplyDeleteI think you hit the nail on the head with this. It's succinct and covers most of what I believe composition is. Taking the reader/audience into consideration is important as that probably dictates the way in which the writer attempts to communicate his or her ideas.
