Learning Log: Inside the classroom, 4th (21 July 2014)

On 21 July 2014, I have learned about teaching writing. Most people agree that writing skills are increasingly important and often not adequately taught. When writing is taught in schools, writing instruction often takes a backseat to phonics, handwriting skills, and reading comprehension. This group talk about teaching writing involves being accurate, encouraging writing and producing a finished product.
Writing skills are an important part of communication. Good writing conveys a meaningful message and uses English well, but the message is more important than correct presentation. Writing is a creative process. What makes an effective piece of writing? Good writers plan and revise, rearrange and delete text, re-reading and producing multiple drafts before they produce their finished document. This is what a process writing approach is about. When students read the essay in its final, polished form, it becomes clear that following the complete writing process produces the best essay.

In conclusion, the key to successful writing classes is that they are pragmatic in nature targeting the skills required or desired by students.
