EL Elec 2
OBJECTIVE
1) Recognize the nature, definition, and practices of
creative writing.
2) Describe each step in the process of creative writing.
3) Identify steps and patterns in writing creatively.
• Writing is a process that involves at least
four distinct steps: prewriting, drafting,
revising, and editing.
• It is known as a recursive process.

Prewriting
• is anything you do before you write a draft of your
document
• includes thinking, taking notes, talking to others,
brainstorming, outlining, and gathering information
• generating ideas is an activity that occurs throughout the
writing process
drafting
• occurs when you put your ideas into sentences and
paragraphs
• explains and supports your ideas fully
• begins to connect your ideas
• doesn’t pay attention to such things as spelling at this
stage
• writer-centered: it is you telling yourself what you know
and think about the topic.
revising
• is the key to effective documents; thinking more deeply
about your readers’ needs and expectations
• the document becomes reader-centered: Is your
organization effective? Do readers need to know X before
they can understand Y?
• refining your prose, making each sentence as concise and
accurate as possible; making connections between ideas
explicit and clear
editing
• Check for such things as grammar, mechanics, and spelling.
The last thing you should do before printing your
document is to spell-check it.
• Don’t edit your writing until the other steps in the writing
process are complete.
peer review
- refers to the many ways in which
students can share their creative
work with peers for constructive
feedback and then use this
feedback to revise and improve
their work

- is as important as drafting, but


students often feel they cannot let
go of their original words
peer review

By keeping an audience in mind and


participating in focused peer review
interactions, students can offer
productive feedback, accept
constructive criticism, and master
revision.
peer review
Peer review can be used for different class
projects in a variety of ways:

•Students to use these three steps to give


peer feedback: Compliments,
Suggestions, and Corrections

•Starting with something positive makes the


other person feel encouraged.
peer review
•Provide students with sentence starter
templates, such as, “My favorite part was
_________ because __________,” to guide
students in offering different types of feedback.

•After they start with something positive, have


students point out areas that could be improved
in terms of content, style, voice, and clarity by
using another sentence starter (“A suggestion I
can offer for improvement is ___________.”).
The peer editor can mark spelling and grammar
errors directly on the piece of writing.
peer review
• Students should know what constructive
feedback means
• Feedback should be done in an analytical, kind
way.
Example: (“This should be more interesting.”)
and clear feedback (“A description of the main
character would help me to imagine him/her
better.”), and students point out which kind of
feedback is most useful
peer review
•Student’s piece is read aloud by the
teacher, then the student leaves the
room while the teacher discusses with
the rest of the class
peer review
•Using chart and display it in the
classroom so students can see the
important steps of peer editing. For
example, the steps might include: 1. Read
the piece, 2. Say what you like about it, 3.
Ask what the main idea is, 4. Listen, 5.
Say “Add that, please” when you hear a
good detail.
.
peer review
•Teachers incorporate ways in which
students will review each other’s work.

•Teachers take note of which students


work well together during peer review
sessions for future pairings.
.
peer review

•Students review and comment on each


other’s work online using a class blog or
class website.
.
peer review

•Students write a class book, then take


turns bringing it home to read.

•They discuss the writing process with


their parents or guardians and explain
how they offered constructive feedback to
help their peers
