Writing
is one of the four language skills and
is a productive skill. Writing
involves communicating a message by making signs on a page. I took out some key
concepts which I consider are the most important:
-Text types such
as birthday card, a post card, your dairy or email are some examples of text
types.
-We use
different degrees of formality, different layouts and ways of ordering information.
- Writing
involves some subskills: accuracy, appropriate functions to express
meaning for example narrating, requesting, summarizing.
-When writing
is important to have cohesion that is we need to use linkers. The texts have to
be cohesive and be written in
a logical way.

Stages of writing

Working out the order in which you want to say it.

Drafting: the first version of a piece of writing.
|
|
Editing: correcting and improving the text.
|
|
Proofreading: checking for mistakes in accuracy and correcting.
|
|
Re-drafting: writing the final version of your piece of writing.

Regarding this,
all of this information is very important when writing. In addition, as a
future teacher I could make use of the steps used to write with my students.
We’ll be developing these steps together. When writing is useful
to encourage the students in order to make them to have better idea.
Therefore, there are activities that are useful for them like labelling, gap
filling, sentence transformation; these activities will help them to
develop accuracy. Another thing Is to give models of texts types, for letting
them to have a guide for writing. I think all of those strategies will help us
to write in a coherent way, helping them in other subjects, too.
