The "monologic composition"

 
Moffett's "monologue" ("a sustained utterance by one speaker who is developing a subject for some other purpose")
 
Moffett 30: "I would like to apply abstraction beyond the word, sentence, and paragraph to whole monological compositions"
 
in other words, "a curriculum sequence must be based on the growth of entire monologues such as a student would be asked to read and write, not on discrete particles"
 
there can be "a reading schedule," in which a student reads "say, essays of generality before attempting to write them," to develop a "prior familiarity"
