Powerful, persuasive, and poignant, is how we all want our students' writing to be described. In order to get there we must start with the basics – even for high school. By doing so, this will lay a strong foundation for students to communicate their thoughts and ideas in a well organized composition. The Write Journey has developed a four-step process to help students achieve this goal. This four-step process has proven to be the foundation for excellent writing:
STEP 1- Brainstorm to gather ideas
STEP 2- Outline to organize ideas
STEP 3- Write rough draft to create complete sentences
STEP 4- Rewrite to edit and improve sentences
With only four steps, this process is simple in its approach; however, like most important disciplines, to become consistent at producing high quality writing, mastery requires thorough instruction and regular practice with individual feedback. Our Writing Foundations classes consist of twelve weeks of instruction, group and individual practice, and personal feedback. Here at The Write Journey, we offer followup writing classes using quality literature to give students the opportunity to practice their writing using the four-step process, while adding additional information, and learning to change the structure of their sentences. Not only are the students improving their own writing, but they are at the same time studying how expert writers have composed their sentences and paragraphs to ultimately produce a quality book. Join us this fall to start your writing journey.
