Teach writing as a processTeach the students to break up the writing into the five basic steps; pre-writing/brainstorming,
draft, edit, proofread, publish. Teach the students how to use time wisely and set up a
timeline. Refer them to someone who can read their work and provide feedback. Allow time to discuss composing strategies with the student.

Focus on the process of writing
What teachers SHOULD do:
Balance teaching basic writing skills and higher level thinking.
