Topic 3: The writing process
1. Purpose & audience: a) know ur audience b) establishing ur purpose c) formulating the mesage d) choosing ur style & tone.
- writing purpose: 1) to entertain 2) to inform 3) to persuade
-audience: must know the terms used in the field written.
2. The writing purpose: generally conducted as a group work.
  • pre-writing stage: clarifies the purpose of writing, thinking, talking, drawing, remembering,test ideas about content & form.(select topic, generating & organise ideas)
  • while-writing stage: burst of writing as ideas seek expression in the form of words.(drafting, getting feedback, revising, editing)
  • post-writing stage : modification & intention to writing mechanics (presentation,display)
  • outcomes: publishing & sharing provide responses that help discover how effective/valuable their writing
3. Rationale for pre-writing:
  • encourage imaginative exploration
  • discover what interests of the subject
  • systematically gathering information
  • sketching out possible structure for the essay
  • saves time
4. Techniques to encourage studs to generate ideas:
  • free writing
  • questioning
  • making a list/ brainstorming
  • diagramming/ mapping/ clustering
  • preparing a scratch outline
5. Drafting: the attempt at actually writing the essay.
    -Suggestions that will help with the actual writing:

  • write 1st paragraph, introducing essay & stating ur thesis
  • follow ur plan as u write
  • look over the supporting details
  • turn the details into sentences
  • ending essay in an appropriate fashion
6. Feedback/conferencing:
-encourages to take a conscientious approach to ur writing
-use a system of marginal annotations to evaluate
7. Revising:
-re-writing a paper, adds coherence, variety, transition, emphasis & details.
8. Editing:
-to fix errors in grammar, punctuation & spelling
9. Publishing:
-sharing one's writing with an audience, reinforce the concept of an audience

Topic 4 : Supporting students to write
1. Techniques to support students as they learn to write:
  • modelled writing (purpose: to demonstrate writing activity & conventions, how to use writing strategies 
  • shared writing (purpose: to demonstrate writing through thinking aloud, generate studs ideas, to create written texts)
  • interactive writing (purpose:  to demonstrate how to write words & sentences, use phonics & spelling patterns, use capital letters, punctuation marks, to create written text)
  • guided writing (purpose: to scaffold a writing experience, introduce different types of writing actvt, to teach writing process, procedure, concepts,strategies & skills during mini-lessons.  
  • independent writing (purpose: to provide authentic context for writing practice, opportunities to choose writing topics & forms, to gain writing fluency & stamina, as tool for learning, to make & publish books)
2. Steps in LEA (language experience approach) Ashton-Warner(1965) & Stauffer (1970)
  • provide background knowledge before writing
  • discuss & share the experience
  • record the child's dictation
  • read the text aloud, pointing to each word
  • widen & develop the writing & reading experience
  • assemble sentence cards
3. Suggested activities for interactive writing:
  • write predictions before reading
  • write responses after reading
  • write letters and other messages
  • make lists
  • write daily news, recipes, poems
  • make poster
4. Steps in interactive writing:
  • collect materials (chart, coloured marking pens etc)
  • offer stimulus
  • work out a text
  • distribute materials for studs to exploit
  • write the 1st sentence word-by-word
  • display the completed writing chart on class notice board
