social relations, express needs, understand and address needs of others and to get things accomplished.

Writing Process
Process writing consists of the following stage :

2 planning or organizing‐
3 drafting(writing the first draft)‐
4 editing‐
5 publishing‐
1. brainstorming :getting started is the most dif
ficult task in writing.with the help of
brainstorming we make it less painful for the st
udents . in the brain storming stage,the
students starts thinking about the topic given.
This may be done as a whole class activity or
in groups so the students benifits from each oth
er as well.3the teacher writes on the board
every idea that comes friom the students witho
ut eliminating any.
To initiate thinking and generate possible writi
ng topics,it s important for students to
explore ideas for writing topics using a variety
of pre writing strategies,such as the‐
following :
*word map
*viewing media such as pictures,movies, a
nd television
*interviewing a person knowledgebale abo
ut the topic
*engaging in peer or teacher_student discu
ssion
*reading about and researching the topic
*free writing
*listing
*reflecting upon personal experience
*examing writing models
*role playing
*asking the Ws..who,what,where ,when an
d why. What do u wa

34. 2planning stage : once the ideas are put randomly on the board,it is now
time to eliminate
some and organize the rest of the ideas as « main support » ; in other wo
rds, plan the
writing.
3‐
drafting (writing the first draft) : by looking at the plans, the students
start writing their
essays.they may change the order of their main supports,or re_arrang
e their minor supports.if you have read myths about people writing a
perfect essay on their first try, it is time to face the truth : there is alw
ays a mistake either in the organization or in the grammar or the choi
ce/form of the vocabulary.this leads us to editing.
4‐Editing :what is the editing stage ?
The editing stage is when you check your essay for mistakes and correct
them.

Editing steps :
