The best way that I have learned to teach the process of writing is to show writing through reading. Every lesson or mini-lesson that I begin with writing is started with reading a book. Think alouds are very important when teaching writing. As I read through a book whole group, I am always saying things like, "Oh, I like how the author started with saying...." or "I can tell about a time when I was sick, too. I will start my story like this author did." Or "I have felt left out before, I will tell about the time that happened to me."
