  1. Writing Process(es) (Everybody has one-- --or more!)

  2. Quickwrite: • What steps do you take when writing? Draw a graphic representation of your own personal writing processes.

  3. Ways of visualizing writing processes:

  4. Reflection is part of the process • “Reflective learners develop the ability to identify and discuss their choices, strengths, and learning processes” (Portfolio Keeping p 17). • In a class that requires written accounts of HOW you wrote something and WHY you wrote it that way, reflective writing must be part of a writing process.

  5. How to incorporate reflection into your process: For every draft you write, take a few minutes to answer questions like these in your Writer’s Notebook: • What was easy during writing this draft? What was difficult? How did you overcome the difficulty? • What are the strengths and weaknesses of the writing so far? • What things are you saving to work on later? • What discoveries did you make during writing today? What are you learning and how are you learning it? • What ideas have been sparked that you’d like to write about but may not fit into your current project? • What did you hear/say/do in class or in daily conversations that influenced your writing in some way? • Develop your own questions and write freely…

  6. For this class: • Our process will be something like this: • Discovery: in-class discussion and journaling • Brainstorm and Draft: on your own, continue to think and write about the ideas leading into your paper, including audience, purpose, and how-to info for your genre. • Draft one (turn in to teacher for review) • Reflection and Revision • Editing and Proofreading • Draft two (for Portfolio/publication/submission to general audiences)

  7. Compilation and Publication • Putting a portfolio together is an act of composition and a part of your writing processes… • com·pose/ [kuhm-pohz] verb, com·posed, com·pos·ing. • 1. to make or form by combining things, parts, or elements: He composed his speech from many research notes. • 2.to make up or form the basis of: Style composes the essence of good writing. • 3.to put or dispose in proper form or order: to compose laws into a coherent system. • http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/compose

  8. Your Portfolio Processes • Compile, arrange, review, revise, reflect: these are verbs that describe what you do when you put your portfolio together. • Consider the details and “little decisions” you make as you work on your Portfolio.HOW do YOU do it? • What do you do first? Next? Why? • How—and when—do you decide on a navigational scheme? • How does compiling the portfolio interact with revision and reflection? • What’s easy about portfolio-building? What’s challenging?
