their rough drafts, getting ready for word processing. Students will also understand the
importance of diversifying language in sentences.

1. Students will understand that the writing process is indeed a process, and takes revisiting,
and editing, moving backwards sometimes before moving forwards.
2. Students will understand the concept of editing sentences, for their grammatical and
syntactical incorrectness.

surrounding language diversity, and sentence variance.

and also add that the writing process is exactly that, a writing process, and that some are
at different stages in the writing process than others.
