As a teacher, you move beyond simply teaching the mechanics of writing to teaching writing as a process. From prewriting to the initial draft and through peer review and revision, you have mastered the art of teaching the writing process. How can you take this approach a step further to foster a learning environment in which you teach not only the process of writing but also strategies of writing so that your students can develop the ability to write effectively throughout their lives?

First, you will identify and review the distinct steps in the writing process. Second, you will access an online process web that offers strategies and samples of students' works.
