Paul Roberts wrote this, and "Understanding English," appropriating ideas drawn from generative linguistics to teaching grammar to high school students. Francis Christensen--who died far too young--drew on Roberts in writing two essays that are arguably the best guides to teaching English composition, period, bar none, end of story.
"A Generative Rhetoric of the Sentence," and "A Generative Rhetoric of the Paragraph."
They read like nothing else on the subject. This will be my twelfth year teaching freshman English. I can't imagine what I would do without them.
