Introduction
• ‘The writing process is the means through
which a writer composes text. Writing is not a
linear process, like following a recipe to bake a
cake. It is flexible; writers should learn to
move easily back and forth between
components of the writing process, often
altering their plans and revising their text
along the way.’(Page 14, Teaching Elementary
School Students To Be Effective Writers)
