Unit 2: Writing Process
Unit Goals
- Students will work through the writing process on each written assignment
- Students will learn strategies for planning, revising, and publishing their stories to make their writing more fluent and easy to read
This two day activity focuses on independent writing and will go over the writing process in which students will actively apply each step to a writing assignment assigned by instructor
Day 1
I created a riddle meant for singing that students will be taught in order to remember the steps of the writing process.
P is for Pre-write to plan out our ideas,
D is for drafting to start making things clear.
R we revising to make important changes?
E is to edit- correcting all our pages,
P is to publish the great work that we've done
S is to share it and send to everyone!!
With a visual video aid, students will understand the steps involved before beginning to write. The following video is of young students who demonstrate parts of the process

Day 2
As students begin their writing assignment, they are to be guided with the following table to check how far along in the writing process they are. The instructor will also use the same table to check whether or not each student has successfully self-assessed their own progress in the writing process.
