Writing skill, which includes many factors and complex processes, is the linguistic skill that receives the lowest amount of support in the out-of-school social context among learning areas. Therefore, practices conducted at schools for the development of writing skills are significant. Such practices are aimed toward students gaining awareness of the functioning of the language system and producing texts that are compatible with discourse features developed in line with communicative purposes. Therefore, theories and approaches that describe how to make choices that match specific text types are an important component of writing education. This study aims to determine the appearance of the units in memoir-type texts that allow tracking the coherence relations on the text surface with the establishment of rhetorical relations between sections of text using the tools of the rhetorical structure theory and review and discuss at an academic level why these tools should be taken into account in the processes of writing education.

Birçok faktörün etkili olduğu ve karmaşık süreçler içeren yazma becerisi, diğer öğrenme alanlarıyla karşılaştırıldığında okul dışı toplumsal bağlamda en az desteklenen dilsel beceri konumundadır. Bu nedenle yazma becerisinin gelişiminde okulda yapılan uygulamalar önemlidir. Bu uygulamalar yoluyla öğrencilerin, dil sisteminin işleyişine ilişkin farkındalık kazanması ve iletişimsel amaçlar doğrultusunda şekillenen söylem özellikleriyle uyumlu metinler üretmesi hedeflenmektedir. Bu nedenle, metin türüyle uyumlu seçimlerin nasıl yapılacağına dair betimlemeler yapan kuram ve yaklaşımlar, yazma öğretiminin önemli bileşenlerinden birisidir. Bu bağlamda çalışmanın amacı metin katmanları arasındaki retorik ilişkilerin kurulumu ile tutarlılık izlerinin metin yüzeyinde izlenebilir olmasına olanak tanıyan birimlerin, anı türü metinlerdeki görünümlerinin Retorik Yapı Kuramının sağladığı araçlar ile belirlenmesi ve kuramın sağladığı araçların yazma öğretimine dönük süreçlerde neden dikkate alınması gerektiğinin akademik düzeyde ele alınıp tartışılmasıdır.
