How to Write a Sentence

The author of How to Write a Sentence says students should practice with sentence forms. The more practiced you become in manipulating forms without any concern for their content, the more powerful your writing will be. He calls his teaching method the karate kid method because he learns by doing formal exercises like waxing cars and painting fences. And so my idea of the teaching of composition is form, form,form, form, content will follow when you need it.
