Arkansas Foundations of Reading Test (FORT)

Which method is important when introducing students to the writing process?

1. Focusing only on individual activities

2. Avoiding charts that outline the writing process

3. Engaging in shared pieces of writing

4. Limiting examples to non-fiction writing

The correct answer is: Engaging in shared pieces of writing

Engaging in shared pieces of writing is important when introducing students to the writing process because it allows students to see real examples of the writing process in action. When students participate in shared writing, they can observe how ideas are developed, how sentences are structured, and how the writing process works as a whole. This hands-on experience can help students gain a better understanding of how to become effective writers themselves. On the other hand: - Focusing only on individual activities can limit the opportunity for students to learn from each other and collaborate. - Avoiding charts that outline the writing process can make it more challenging for students to visualize the steps involved in writing. - Limiting examples to non-fiction writing may restrict students' exposure to different genres and styles of writing.
