In a writing class, a teacher should provide specific processes so that students can learn what should they do in each process. Tompkin said, "The writing process is a way of looking at writing instruction in which the emphasis is shifted from children's finished products to what think and do as they write. (Tompkins, 2008) And chapter 1 gave me the clear 5 writing processes ; Prewriting, drafting, revising, editing, and publishing. With thses clear processes, students can learn how to form the structures, what to consider when writing efficiently and effectively.
With these process-based appraoch a teacher can provide students with opportunities to think what they do in each process as Brown noted, "The process approach is an attempt to take advantage of the nature of the written code (unlike conversation, it can be planned and given an unlimited number of revisions before its release) to give students a chance to think as they write. Another way of putting it is that writing is indeed a thinking process." (Brown, 2006)
Response to Tae Hyun Kim
Tae Hyn Kim said, "As teachers, we are expected to do the leading and supporting role for children to express certain ideas and feelings they want to write and share with the audience. But teachers shouldn't do everything out of worry for the students rather we need to focus on how to have them lead themselves in a self-motivated and self-monitoring process." I agree with him at the point of view that teachers should not only do the leading role bt also help students lead themselves at the same time.
