I was introduced to the writing process back in middle school in my English classes. I remember going over and doing all of the key features that were mentioned for the writing process. I think it helped a great deal wth the English papers I had to write as well as with the TAAS testing that we had. I don't remember ever having to retake the writing part of the TAAS test and I think this is why.

Yes, the writing process did help in taking the TAAS test. I guess thats why the they made us do it so much is that so we wouldn't have such a hard time with that test and so we could be prepared for it.
ReplyDeleteI agree, I also believe this process helps us out a whole bunch and also keeps us from making too many mistakes on our papers.
ReplyDeleteI really like you process on writing a paper, because i tend to do the same thing, because i like to get all my thoughts out there before i edit it and submit my final draft. The information you supported us with based on the reading and writing is very important because it will be helpful to me and others now and in the future. You did a good job!!!
ReplyDeleteI have to admit it did help with the TAAS. I tend to skip some steps when I write my papers. But for the TAAS I was so concerned about passing I made sure to go through every step.
ReplyDeleteThe writing process has helped me a great deal over the years. I try to draft most papers a few days before they are due and then let them sit overnight before revising and editing. I can’t comment on Testing because I don’t remember having to pass any state tests.
