Study Notes
Process Writing: A Classroom Example
- This is an example of a process writing lesson used in a classroom
- It involves 6 phases: pre-writing, drafting, rewriting and redrafting, feedback and revision, editing and revision, publication
- The six phase model encourages peer review and collaboration
- Students are encouraged to brainstorm their ideas and write freely with a focus on brainstorming ideas rather than grammar
- Students share and critique each other's drafts with a focus on the ideas and content, rather than grammar or spelling
Pre-Writing Phase
- Involves free writing, where students write freely for a set time, without stopping, without worrying about mistakes, spelling, or grammar
- The objective of this phase is to generate as many ideas as possible
- The text suggests a free writing time of 10-20 minutes
Drafting Phase
- Students work in pairs
- They combine their individual freewriting into a bullet-pointed list
- The best ideas and arguments are chosen to be included in a draft essay
- Students then discuss controversial topics with classmates, referring to internet sources and newspaper articles
- Students modify their drafts based on this research and discussion
Rewriting & Redrafting Phase
- Students swap their drafts with other pairs, and provide feedback on the ideas in the draft
- The focus is on the content of the essay
- The teacher acts as a resource for individual students who may want more specific feedback
Feedback & Revision Phase
- The teacher provides an example of an anonymous student's essay, and asks the class to comment on its strengths and weaknesses
- The teacher then provides their feedback to the students, highlighting the importance of positive and constructive criticism
- Students are encouraged to offer supportive feedback on each other's drafts
