THE WRITING PROCESS FROM START TO FINISH
A dynamic writing process will help your students produce great writing.
The Writing Process: Kindergarten to Second Grade
Experience - Discuss - Write - Copy a corrected model - Present Experience: Good writing starts with ideas, and at this age ideas begin with experience. An experience that captures her imagination makes a greater writing lesson than something that is abstract or uninteresting to her.
Discuss - Listen to his ideas. Assist with finding words to express the ideas.
Write - Sit down and put the ideas that were discussed on paper.
Copy a corrected model - Don't punish spelling mistakes. Correctly write the sentences using appropriate letter formation and mechanics for the age level. Allow the student at a different sitting to correctly copy the model. Stress that this is the student's own ideas and writing.
Presentation - It's always a confidence builder to see one's writing appreciated by others.
The Process of Writing For Older Writers: Third to Eight Grade
Experience - Plan - Write - Edit - Present Experience: Good writing starts with ideas, and at this age ideas begin with experience. An experience that captures her imagination makes a greater writing lesson than something that is abstract or uninteresting to her.
Plan: See the Four Tiers of Writing in the Write On Instructor's Guide to help students plan.
Write - Sit down and put the ideas that were discussed on paper.
Edit - See the Write On Instructor's Guide for information on editing and evaluating writing.
Presentation - It's always a confidence builder to see one's writing appreciated by others.
The Writing Process For Mature Writers: High School and above
Concept - Research - Ruminate - Outline - Write Draft - Edit - Revise - Present
There are more steps at a more abstract level at this stage of development.
At this point, the paragraph development and outlining mastered by students using Write On will prepare the student for this level of writing. If the student has not mastered these basics, it is necessary to go back and learn and practice these skills before they can proceed with more advanced writing.
The Write On Instructor's Guide will give a wealth of information on writing activities and the writing process
