Storyboarding is a great way to get students engaged in this process!

The final copy of a written work is completed and ready to be shared. Students may also have the opportunity to publically display their work in their classroom adding to motivation to create a complete and full final product.
Having the opportunity to display your written work adds a level of motivation to students effort. More pride can be taken when they are instructed to develop a creative component of book binding, cover making, or display for their work. I have worked with students that have a used a white book to display their work over the course of a unit.

This stage pulls together the previous three stages with the idea that you are finalizing your writing. This differs from revising because now you are focused on errors in syntax and diction. It is suggested to set aside a brief break between stages 3 and 4 because many writers become too familiar with their own errors.
Students should again read their story, aloud to catch any final mistakes with grammar, punctuation, or structure. Students should be directed to rereading their work upon completion in order to make certain their final product is flawless.

This stage should be a process of "cleaning-up" the writing. Students will identify areas that need clarification or more detail in order the strengthen their central idea.
Tompkins suggests three ways to assist readers in this process:
1.Rereading the rough draft
2. Sharing the rough draft
3. Revising based on feedback

When completing my own writing, I find it useful to read my work aloud. This gives me the opportunity to catch any sequences that don't make sense or have yet to be fleshed out. I have encouraged my students to do the same. This method is especially helpful during a peer review period. Older students require guidelines and direction with how to review with another student. A worksheet with areas for comments offers the best structure for older students.

This stage is a process where students begin to put their ideas and plans on paper.
1.Writing a rough draft
2.Crafting leads
The rough draft is about getting the words on paper where crafting leads is refining introductory sentences to be hooks or engaging for readers.

From my experience, drafting is made easier with a detailed prewriting tool like an outline. The more advanced the paper the more I focus on the body paragraphs before completing an introduction. However in the classroom, many students enjoy developing the hooks, or creative catches for readers. I encourage students to manage their time in a way that doesn't hold them up while completing a writing. Don't waste time, get your thoughts on paper!

This stage is the developing idea and planning stage. Students create a blueprint of their writing in this stage. It consists of five components:
1. Choosing a topic
2. Considering a purpose
3. Considering audience
4. Considering genre
5. Gather and organizing ideas

I find that this stage is most important because if done correctly and thoroughly, the later steps become less difficult. One method I continue to use is an outline. It organizes your writing and structures it in a way to make drafting easy.
