Creativity and Composing: The Composition Teacher as Student.

Wess, Robert C.

Teaching English in the Two-Year College, v12 n3 p191-97 Oct 1985

Proposes that teachers use their own writing as a teaching tool. Discusses both the left-brain logical, rational approach and the right-brain intuitive approach to invention and states that in composing their own methods and materials, instructors can stress both patterns of creativity by illustrating how each complements the other.
