That’s actually in incredibly good, rational method for learning to write. It allows the writer to study an existing model, practice, then compare against the model afterwards. One could do this with pretty much any author, journal, or paper that you enjoy, and it should be effective no matter the type of writing.
Now that I think about it, I’m going to suggest it to some friends of mine who teach English classes in the area. Thanks!
If you have time, try Ben Franklin’s method
