Writing I: Learning the Process (Curriculum Unit)

Translating the process of writing into six recursive stages-prewriting, drafting, conferencing, revising, editing, and publishing-this practical book emphasizes the value of creative expression, and the positive experience of writing. Helping students develop the ability to use writing as a tool in thinking, learning, and communicating, this reproducible book uses 34 lessons to encourage students to brainstorm, practice freewriting, master punctuation, and understand the creative process. Seventy-four original handouts deal with such topics as audience awareness, essay writing, and analyzing narrative passages. Grades 7-9. (WCB190)
