The Writing Process

    It cannot be stressed enough just how important the process of writing is. Without it, in almost all cases, writing pieces never capture the true meaning they were intended to. Writing is not a one shot affair, and should not be treated as such. Each stage of the writing process provides a guide for writing pieces that are as close to perfection as possible through consistent brainstorming, writing and rewriting, until the final product is published. Added to that, throughout the process, implementation of the 6+1 Traits of Writing occurs, which is the vehicle that drives and enhances your writing piece. To conclude, as teachers, we should ensure that the writing process is one that should never be overlooked in any classroom; and it is imperative that all beginning writers be exposed to this process to ensure that all writing pieces produced are of high standard that the young writers can take pride in.
