The writing process should be taught, practiced, and used. It should be consistent throughout the school. Students need to write daily with research recommending that students be actively involved in the writing process for at least forty-five minutes daily. Writing needs to occur across the content areas with much collaboration among teachers and students.
The writing process to follow varies a little depending upon where, and by whom, the information is shared, but it remains basically consistent enough as not to confuse those teaching or using it. Some terms need to be taught like draft/copy and revision/proofreading/editing.
Since 1980, I have used the follow process with success. Much more detail about the process and how to use it can be found on Facebook at studio wise in madison, ga., posted 9.22.20.
