LIT 102

For the week as a class we looked at writing as a Stage, Process and a Trait.   There are four stages of writing with Emergent Stage being the first stage, this is where scribbling, tracing, drawing and letter like form takes place by the students. The second stage is Early Stage where random letters or string of letters, writing via invented spelling correct spelling and elaborate more ideas is written by the students. The third stage is Transitional Stage where students honing in their spelling skills, spell words correctly, use a variety of strategies to spell more difficult words, writing in more genres, developing ideas and organization and greater control over capitalization and punctuations. The fourth stage is Fluent Stage in this stage students have greater control over this spelling, their ideas, developing wider genres and organisation. They are able to critique their own writing and that of others, developing or elaborating their own voice. After be

There are also characteristics or traits in writing which are; ideas, organization, voice, word choice, sentence fluency, conventions and presentation. Among the traits, the voice stood out the

In this unit I learnt that there are different stages, process and trait of writing. The four stages of writing are emergent, early, transitional and fluent. The emergent stage is when students are scribbling, tracing, drawing and forming letter -like. In the emergent stage, students are developing fine motor skills, writing within lines, developing speech, explain orally, big book reading, story telling - shared reading, etc. At the early stage, students are writing random letters or string  of letters and writing via invented spelling. In the transitional stage, students are horning spelling skills, spelling words correctly, use a variety of strategies to spell more difficult words,  writing in more genres and greater control over capitalization and punctuation. At fluent stage, students are  doing conventional spelling, greater control over their ideas, organization and critique their own writing and that of others. The five process of writing are: 1.
