The cache library
Each cache holds one composition craft: a core technique, several approaches, contrasting examples, a short practice on a fictional text, and a checklist for returning to your own essay. Craft here means choices that serve your purpose and reader — not fixed formulas. Your assignment's instructions always come first.
