Russell's task is to examine ong>theong> ways ong>writingong> was taught in ong>theong> myriad curricula that composed ong>theong> varied structure of secondary ong>anong>d higher education in modern America. He begins with ong>theong> assertion that, before ong>theong> s, ong>writingong> was taught as ong>anong>cillary to speaking. As a result, formal ong>writingong> instruction was essentially training in hong>anong>dong>writingong>, ong>theong> mechong>anong>ical process of trong>anong>scribing sound to visual form.
