Summary: <p><img src="https://storage.googleapis.com/iew-public-production/files/images/POD391_HDR_09.18.23.png" width="100%" height="100%"></p> <p>In this week’s podcast Julie Walker asks Andrew Pudewa how imitation applies to teaching writing along with other questions about his talk <em>From Copywork to Composition. </em>Imitation is the cornerstone of excellent writing. Just as no music teacher hands a new student a blank sheet of manuscript paper and expects an original composition, writing instructors should not expect students to write without a model to imitate when they are first learning.</p> <h3>Referenced Materials</h3> <ul> <li> <a href="https://iew.com/help-support/blog/copywork-composition-podcast-391" target="_blank" rel="noopener">“Copywork to Composition”</a> </li> <li>“<a href="https://iew.com/help-support/resources/articles/imitation-common-sense-approach" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Imitation: A Common-Sense Approach</a>” by Andrew Pudewa</li> <li> <a href="https://iew.com/help-support/resources/articles/one-myth-and-two-truths" target="_blank" rel="noopener">"One Myth and Two Truths”</a> by Andrew Pudewa</li> <li><a href="https://iew.com/TWSS2-FS" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><em>Teaching Writing: Structure and Style</em></a></li> <li><a href="https://iew.com/SSS" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><em>Structure and Style for Students</em></a></li> <li>“Cooking with Structure and Style” <ul> <li>Podcast series: <a href="https://iew.com/help-support/podcast/episode-225-cooking-structure-and-style-part-1" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Part 1</a><a href="https://iew.com./help-support/podcast/episode-225-cooking-structure-and-style-part-1"> </a>| <a href="https://iew.com/help-support/podcast/episode-226-cooking-structure-and-style-part-2" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Part 2</a> </li> </ul> </li> <li> <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hO3ut0hOjp4&t=6710s" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener"><em>From Copywork to Composition</em></a> audio talk by Andrew Pudewa</li> <li><a href="https://iew.com/sites/default/files/podcast/fileattachment/E391_Transcript_20230920.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Transcript of Podcast Episode 391</a></li> </ul> <p>If you have questions for Andrew, send them to <a href="mailto:Podcast@IEW.com">podcast@IEW.com</a> Perhaps your question will be answered at the next Ask Andrew Anything (AAA).</p> <p>If you have questions about IEW products or classes, contact customer service at 800.856.5815 or <a href="mailto:Info@IEW.com">info@IEW.com</a></p>
