FREE WRITING
Free writing might include a topic as a general guide, or it might not. While students are doing free
writing, they focus less on accuracy and more on fluency. It is essential to keep writing down your
thoughts without worrying about grammar, spelling or punctuation. The purpose of the exercise
varies, but it can be used to generate ideas and to clear out distracting thoughts. Free writing can
enhance students’ expertise, make their English more proficient and help them to reflect their own
writing style. On the other hand, it means helps to separate the process of producing a piece of
writing from the process of revising it. There are various possible forms of free writing, such as
journals, essays, and fiction writing.
The example of free writing is when teacher gives a general topic to the students without any
guidelines or pictures, then students will freely write based on the topic solely with their own
ideas.

1. PRE-WRITING
When the topic is announced by the teacher or decided on collectively by the class,
called out as many ideas and write it down. There is no rejection, all ideas are accepted. The
emphasis is on quantity. Search for ideas and ends when the students begin to write the first draft.
A number of techniques may be used to encourage the generation of ideas:
A. Brainstorming – students need to call out many ideas as possible (in words or simple
phrases). Accept all suggestion and no rejection of the ideas. The emphasis is on quantity.
B. Listing – students are encourage to list every idea that are related to the topic. Listing ensures
that they have a record of all the ideas that cross their mind before they forget it while thinking
about the next idea.
C. Quickwrite – with the title given, and the opening sentence, pupils write as much as they can
in five minutes. They have to write without pausing on every line. After 5 minutes, they have
to stop writing. They can exchange the quickwrite with each other, peer-reading and discuss
the ideas generated.
D. Mind mapping - Like brainstorming, mind-mapping begins with the teacher writing the key-
word in the centre of the board. The ideas generated are written around the key-word and
linked to it. Example :
6. 6
E. Organizing ideas -through brainstorming, students will have more than enough ideas for their
writing task. The next step is to select and organize these ideas and get pupils to work by
themselves to decide which ideas to include in their composition-most important is to decide
where to put the ideas, the beginning, the middle or the end of the composition.
2. WRITING
a. Drafting – students write the first draft based on the plan they have made.
Encourage students to bear in mind the purpose and audience as they write so that
they can select the most suitable words, style and sentence construction.
b. Feedback / Conferencing – the most important stage in the process of writing
because the students will receive most guidance on how to improve their writing
skills. It focuses on content and meaning and the conference should be brief and
7. 7
straight to the point. Teacher’s role is to formulate questions that will support the
students’ effort in writing. For example :
What is the essay about?
Why are you writing about it ?
Who is your audience?
c. Rewriting/revising - Students re-write their compositions incorporating insights
from the conference. Students must think as they re-write and not merely copy the
draft. It encourages students to think as they re-write and add ideas. Ask the
questions to help them with their revision. Questions such as :
Does your draft seem to have an interesting main idea?
Is there anything in the text that does not relate to what you are trying to write
about?
Do you feel the relationship between your ideas is clear? How can you make it
clearer?
Can you substitute any of the words in you writing to make it more precise?
You must ask this questions in a form your students can understand.
d. Editing -Teacher collects the revised compositions and edit students’ writing,
concentrating on content, organization, grammar and sentence structure. This
encourages students to proof-read their compositions before handing them in to
remove unnecessary mistakes.

3. PUBLISHING
Publishing is sharing one’s writing with an audience. The final products should be
displayed or published to reinforce the concept of an audience. It is necessary to show
students why they must proof-read their papers and ensure there are no mistakes in their
final copies.
5. MARKING SCHEME AND EVALUATION.
A. Holistic Marking
A method where a piece of writing is evaluated for its overall quality.
This marking system involves a top-down view of writing.
Teachers are also trained not to become overly concerned with any one aspect of
writing but to see it as a whole.
Assigns a single score to represent a weighing of the whole work.
Holistic rating scale:
4 points 3 points 2 points 1 point
the main idea
was clearly
stated
the essay was
well organized
the choice of
words was good
the main idea
was fairly clear
the essay was
moderately well
organized
the vocabulary
was good
the main idea
was indicated,
but not clearly
the essay was not
so well
organized
the vocabulary
the main idea
was hard to
identify
the essay was
poorly organized
the vocabulary
was weak
9. 9
very few minor
grammatical
errors
some minor
grammatical
errors
choice was fair
some major
grammatical
errors
many
grammatical
errors
Holistic scores are usually arrived at by comparing individual student essays to model essays
representing good, fair, and poor achievement. It is suitable to use in the longer composition.
Advantages of holistic marking:
Emphasis students’ strength than on their weaknesses
Relatively higher degree of rater reliability
It is not time-consuming
Applicable to the assessment of many different topic
Disadvantages of holistic marking:
Student may not know the reason for his or her grade on the writing. Most raters usually
make some end comment holistically to give the student some idea of why the essay was
better or worse than the model essays.
The single score may actually mask differences across individual compositions.
Ways of evaluating holistic marking.
Holistic marking which takes a top-down view of writing. You can scan pupil’s writing quickly
to form an overall impression and then read the composition more carefully a second time to find
evidence for justifying your first impression. You then give the child your comments, starting
10. 10
with the overall impression and with a focus on the child’s idea. After that, give comments on
how he can improve his writing so that he can build his strength.
B. Analytic Marking
A method where the marking is done on separate criteria, with weightings according to
their relative importance.
Teachers usually use this type of marking when they want to evaluate other skills beside
the content of the writing.
Example of criterion are originality of content, organization, vocabulary, and grammar.
Analytic marking offers better agreement between examiners.
Analytic rating scale:
Originality of
content
Organization Vocabulary Grammar
4 points:
interesting ideas
were stated
clearly
3 points:
interesting ideas
were stated
fairly clearly
2 points: ideas
4 points: well

3 points: fairly
well organized
2 points: loosely

1 point: ideas

2 points: some

1 point: many

1 point: limited

Advantages of analytical marking:
Can make the provision of detailed feedback for students easier as students can receive
much information from their marks for each of the criteria.
Analytical marking systems can make marking easier when the work being assessed is
long.
Provide a clear guidelines in grading in the form of the various components.
Disadvantages of analytical marking:
It is time-consuming. Teachers who score analytically usually are required to make as
many as 11 separate judgments about one piece of writing.
Negative feedback can be pedagogically destructive. Teachers who combine analytic
scoring with confrontational or unclear comments- especially issues of grammar may
actually inhibit student growth.
Ways of evaluating analytical marking
Divides the available marks between different criteria. Each criteria is assigned a portion of the
available mark and the sum of all the marks gives the total mark. Teachers usually use this type
of marking when they want to evaluate other skills beside the content of the writing.
12. 12
C. Selective Marking
Teacher will have to decide which error to correct.
Teacher first informs students about what criteria they should be following in
their writing.
While evaluating the composition, teacher will ignore the other ‘error’ and only
pay attention to the target skills.
Advantages of selective marking:
It is not time-consuming.
Easier to mark.
Pupils can improve in a particular skill since the teacher already informs them what the
criteria he or she wants to focus to.
Disadvantages of selective marking:
Teachers are considered as lazy or careless if they overlook students’ errors.
Pupils may want the teacher to mark every error in the writing.
Ways to evaluate selective marking.
Selective marking for this kind of marking, inform students about what criteria they should be
following in their writing. This can be done by, telling students before they start writing, ‘Today I
want you to pay special attention to how you can link ideas.’ or you can focus on a skill or a
combination of skills in the pre-writing stage. Then, when you evaluate students’ composition,
you ignore the other errors and only pay attention to the target skills.
