The product approach in writing instructs students to imitate a model text that is first analyzed. There are four stages: 1) analyzing the model text and highlighting features; 2) controlled practice of features like address placement; 3) organizing ideas with structure and vocabulary as important as content; 4) applying skills by choosing a similar writing task to produce a final product using the analyzed model.
