Stages of Writing Process
In third grade this year we are going to be focusing on the writing process. The writing process starts by having students brainstorm or pre-write. The first month of school I am going to have students write an autobiography to help students get to know one another. The students will pre-write or brainstorm ideas and content they would like to talk about. Once students have written down their ideas or points they want tot talk about they will move to the next stage which is drafting. Students will write a rough draft of there autobiography. After students have had time to write a rough draft they will begin revising their writing. Revising is where students re read what they have written and make any appropriate changes whether it be to change the order of there ideas so it flows better or add/ delete any information they want or do not want . After revising their autobiography students will pair up with a partner and edit each others papers. Editing means to check for spelling, punctuation, and grammar errors. At the end of the first month of school students will share in front of the class there autobiography.
