The most effective way to teach writing is to teach it as a process of brainstorming, composing, revising, and editing. Students learn to write well through frequent practice. A well- structured assignment has a meaningful topic, a clear sense of purpose, and a real audience.
Students think and talk about their top- ics.
They collect information and ideas, frequently much more than they will finally use. They sort through their ideas to organize and clarify what they want to say. . This part is typically time-consuming and hard, even for very good writers. . The most useful teacher response to an early draft focuses on what students are trying to say, not the mechanics of writing. Teachers can help most by asking for clarification, commenting on vivid expressions or fresh ideas, and suggesting ways to support the main thrust of the writing.
