As a teacher, you will be expected to give guidance to your students on how to become effective writers. This is not grade dependent. This progresses throughout the primary grades as children experiment with invented spellings and story structures. In the middle grades, precision increases as students perfect the conventions of writing in the English language. It is unfair to students to present them with a writing prompt or an assignment without guidance on how to go about succeeding at the task.
Writing comes as a difficult task for many students.
You, as teacher, are expected to give your students guidelines on how to go about writing. The form these guidelines take are demonstrated in modeling, direct teaching, and imparting an understanding of the writing process.
