Processes
• Be aware that it usually takes multiple drafts to create and complete a successful text

Define: I know that it takes lots of essays to complete a final essay.

Example:
In my narrative essay about the horrors of carnival life, I wrote that “each and every day was hard because I was all ways fetching food for the camels.” You can see that my draft essay has a mistake. When I re-wrote it, after help from my peers, I fixed it to say, “each and every day was hard because I was always fetching food for the camels.” I corrected my error to create a successful text.

Conclude:

Since I wrote multiple drafts and fixed my mistakes to create a successful text, obviously I understand that it takes multiple drafts to complete a text.

•Understand writing as an open process that permits writers to use later invention and re-thinking to revise their work

•Learn to critique their own and others' works

•Develop flexible strategies for generating, revising, editing, and proof-reading
