Composition Theory

Composition Theory in Rhetoric and Composition examines how people create written texts and the processes involved in writing. It explores the best practices for teaching writing, the roles of audience and purpose, and the effects of context on writing. This theory encompasses different approaches, such as cognitive processes (how we think while writing), social influences (how collaboration affects writing), and cultural factors (how our backgrounds shape our writing). Ultimately, Composition Theory seeks to understand and improve the ways we communicate through writing, making it more effective and accessible for different audiences.
