The document discusses process-oriented and product-oriented approaches to teaching writing. It notes that a process-oriented approach focuses on the writing process and progress over time, allowing students to express themselves creatively, while a product-oriented approach focuses more on the final product and grammar. The document argues that teaching writing should involve both approaches, beginning with organization and framework before focusing on grammar mistakes. It acknowledges that the writing process is complex and time-consuming in reality, involving multiple stages of planning, drafting, revising and editing, and that process writing may not always be appropriate or enjoyed by all students.
