How To Teach Writing

“…writing will be used as a generic term to refer to all the various activities that involves transferring thought through paper. Writing that focuses primarily on the conventions of language form , i.e. grammatical or lexical structures, will be termed transcription. The term composition will refers to the skills involved in effectively developing and communicating an idea or making a point.”
(Dvorak quoted in Lee & Vanpatten, 1995, p. 214)
  
What have you written in your language in the past week?


Maybe you have not written anything in the past week! It is true that we do not write very much these days. But possibly you have written a shopping list, a postcard, a birthday card, some emails, your diary, or maybe a story. If you are studying, perhaps you  written an essay. All   of these examples of written text types.  You can see from this list that text types involve different kinds of writing, e.g. single words only, short sentences or long sentences, paragraphs, special layouts , etc  that show  different ways of ordering information. When we learn to write , we need to learn how to deal with these different features.   

now I would like to share about teaching writing more in this link.
