The research indicates that when curriculums begin to focus on such procedural knowledge, they will begin to produce more effective writers. Children should make their own topic choices. First, students should brainstorm a list of topics, ultimately choosing one. Students should place unused ideas in their writing folders for use at a later date. Next, students should organize their ideas using webs or other organizing strategies.
Students begin their works.
From there, they can hold peer conferences, illustrate a piece, share their writing, or partner write. Just as not all authors' works are published. The prewriting stage helps children organize their ideas. Students should consider their audience and their purpose. Prewriting may include webbing or using graphic organizers.
