ELT365 · Day 195 — Process writing — plan, draft, edit

Idea — Process writing treats writing as a cycle: plan → draft → feedback → redraft → edit. It mirrors how real writers work and makes each stage visible and teachable.

Example — Stage 1: brainstorm and plan (10 min). Stage 2: first draft (15 min). Stage 3: peer feedback. Stage 4: redraft. Stage 5: self-edit.

Try — In your next writing lesson, explicitly teach the planning stage. Give learners five minutes to plan before they write a word.
