Learning the Writing Process

In class today, we continued with learning the Writing Process from our Write Source textbooks (p.9-17).  Yesterday we discussed pre-writing and how to get ideas about our topic.  Today we organized those ideas and learned how to write our first rough draft.  We are going through one writer's process, fictitional Linda, as she writes a personal narrative over an experince she had last summer on the Freedom Schooner Amistad.  We did "Try It" on p.16 and turned it in for a grade.
