Even a stapled booklet can be something a child is proud of as they present their finished piece.

Personal Experience: I can completely relate with being proud of an accomplished piece of writing in the publishing phase. Some of my most fond memories included the pieces I did finish and share with the world and the sense of pride and accomplishment that came with it. I hope to one day have the chance to display my students' writing proudly around the classroom and create means to share the published version with family.

Personal Observations: None exist; have not had the opportunity. ]]> 2021-01-30 20:05:44 UTC https://padlet.com/tajoly/g805pobmcaodd5bu/wish/1144094535 tajoly https://padlet.com/tajoly/g805pobmcaodd5bu/wish/1144094536 Definition: Editing means putting writing into its final form so that the writing piece is "optimally readable." It's all about putting as much distance between you and the composition to locate and correct errors.

Personal Experience: I have also had challenges in the past distancing myself from what I've written because I get so caught up in my ideas and how "well" they work together, that I often found it difficult to suddenly become an unbiased third party for my own work. I have worked on this bit of ego as I grew older, and now find editing enjoyable because it means taking something good and making it wonderful.

The revision stage is all about going back and correcting, yes, but it's also about finding ways to improve upon the draft that's been written. 

Personal Experience: This was the least fun of all of my stages, and often I found myself abandoning my writing process when I was younger after the drafting stage to move on to a new project. Step 1, step 2, rinse and repeat. I agree with the text in that I used to see revising as "punishment" for any flawed components of my writing.

One of the most important parts of the rough draft is remembering that this is the time to allow creativity to take hold; the focus here is not about punctuation or grammatical mistakes.

Personal experience: If prewriting is the time the creative juices start flowing, drafting is its best friend who takes those creative ideas and enhances them. This is my second favorite part of the writing process, because ideas are limitless and penning them to paper was always fun.

In prewriting, writers prepare to write by choosing a topic. organizing and preparing themselves to write.

In my personal experience, prewriting can be the most exciting of the five stages. My mind races as I prepare to tackle the objective ahead and ideas begin to flow with the right inspiration, whether a spinoff of a book, tv show, or something inspired by a dream, the prewriting stage can be the most exciting as I collect my thoughts to write down my ideas.

I have not yet had the opportunity to personally observe a child in any of these processes, however I believe with the appropriate guidance, students can come to enjoy this step as well. Writing can be more than the traditional pencil, paper and silence - teachers can stimulate ideas with activities!]]> 2021-01-30 20:05:44 UTC https://padlet.com/tajoly/g805pobmcaodd5bu/wish/1144094540
