This book features the various stages of the writing process. The first section outlines the skills which are essential for conveying meaning through words in a written context. Understanding and eventually gaining competence in these skills will help students become more effective communicators in the English Language.
We need to foster an understanding in our students about how language works and how to convey meaning and ideas in a powerful way - with greater clarity and more impact. As students develop their writing style, they will also develop a sense of personal fulfillment.
The role of the teacher is not to set a rigid style for the students to imitate, but rather to facilitate the individual style of each student. Students need the freedom to shape and reshape their own ideas as they seek to express their thoughts through writing.
This book is designed to aid and assist students in their journey to discover the ability and wonder of self expression. The key areas of emphasis are closely related to the guidelines outlined for the S.E.A. Creative Writing paper. The skills of writing required for this section of the examination are discussed in great detail throughout this book.
We have provided a solid foundation upon which students can build their own unique form of written expression as they seek to become competent in this strand of communication.
