Emig makes a connection between the current tradicional rhetoric magical thinking and a new rhetoric non-magical thinking. According to Emig The magical classroom refers to the tradicional ways of teaching where the writing is passive and sometimes dramatic. On the other hand, the non-magical classroom is more active and it requires a gradual and constant revision.
I agree with Emig. I believe that a piece of writing should be constantly revised. Should be more active, more enjoyable than painful in order to get students attention and to help them to become good writers.
