Writing 1: Learning the Process engages students in the process of writing. Lessons help young writers organize their ideas by breaking the writing task into manageable parts. Exercises on grammar, usage, and mechanics address particular writing problems as needed.
Writing process theory is the foundation for both Writing 1 and Writing 2. The idea that writing is a process—a series of steps, not a simple product—is stressed from beginning to end. According to writing process theory, some or all of six steps to the writing process may be taken (and revisited) in writing any particular piece. These steps include prewriting, drafting, conferencing, revising, editing, and publishing.
Students are introduced to various writing tasks: letters and interviews, writing for different audiences and purposes, writing and revising a paragraph, and writing an essay. Rubrics, checklists, and conferencing suggestions are found throughout the book.
