Every individual has their own unique writing process. The writing process includes prewriting, drafting, revising and editing, rewriting, and lastly publishing. Some students may like to make a web or outline and some students may just like to free write and brainstorm ideas. It allows students to break up the process into manageable bits and pieces and allows them to focus on one thing at a time to assure a quality paper. It allows students to plan and prep for the paper they are writing. The writing process also gives them a set structure in how there paper is going to look by the end. "Studies show that students who learn the writing process score better on state writing tests than those who receive only specific instruction in the skills assessed on the test." This quote by "ReadWriteThink.com" discusses how the writing process ups your scores on standardized testing by experimenting with people's scores. The writing process allows students to apply their writing skills to all subjects. Teachers encourage teaching the writing process because it allows the student to write in a variety of genres, including creativity. The writing process I've learned is not where it should be compared to my peers, and I don't have anyone else to blame but myself. .
Most people would say that my writing process is embarrassing. As a kid, I had severe ADHD, and it really affected my learning. ADHD is short for attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. I couldn't control myself in the classroom and didn't receive the same teaching as most kids in my class. My mind was in a million different places at once. I couldn't focus on my writing nor did I want to because I just couldn't stand it. I've came a long way since then though and really started to improve my writing dramatically. I did not have the right attitude towards writing and I still don't. I just can't get involved in it, and I really do enjoy writing and expressing my thoughts on paper.
