Product and Process Approach to English Writing

Product and Process Approach to English Writing

Product approach

Model texts are read and features of the type of writing are highlighted (eg. use of linkers in an essay, or use of narrative tenses in a story).

Controlled practice of highligted features (6.9. doing a gap fi I using the linkers studied).

Ideas are then organised into a logical structure. using the model text as a guide. Organisation is often considered more important than content.

Students are given a similar task to the model text and use the structures they have studied to produce their own text.




Process approach

ideas are generated through discussion or brainstorming (e.g. benefits of mobile technology, what makes a good teacher).

Students extend ideas into notes and evaluate how useful and interesting each idea is.

Students organize ideas in a mind-map or linear form to help them identify most important ideas to order their text.

Students write the first draft (this is often done collaboratively in pairs).

Drafts are exchanged, and other students read / comment on the text.

Drafts are returned, and students now edit their work into a final draft.

Final drafts are then read, and other students may write a response.
