Writing in our Class: |
Current Student Writing! |
In this classroom, we make as much use of the writing process as possible. These steps act as our guides:
1. Plan 2. Draft 3. Revise 4. Edit 5. Publish However, it is never as straight-forward as this looks. We never just hit each step once and then call our paper finished and good to go! Instead, we hit each part as many times as we need to in order for our writing to feel complete. They tend to get jumbled together the further we get into a process, being repeated over and over - in fact, the only thing we do once is publish the final copy. |
