quality of English writing—both American and British—has taken a dive  for the worst.  “Netspeak” is obtrusively taking over most electronic  communications, making good writing practices increasingly scarce.  With  such a strong influence the Internet has over the world today, it is no  wonder so few children can write.  Even the most intelligent and  successful business leaders seem small and insignificant when they  distribute e-mails full of spelling errors and non-capitalized  sentences.  Therefore, it is more vital than ever to teach our children  to write well before they are released into a relentless and competitive  world. The best way to learn to write is to practice.  People learn best by  making mistakes and correcting them for themselves.  The following  method of teaching writing enforces that very concept.  It will work for  established writers who need to polish their skills, and it will work  for the struggling student who was absent the day they taught grammar.  Whether you are a teacher, a homeschooling mom, or a tutor, you can  teach anyone to be a better writer with a little patience and a lot of  persistence.   With this writing technique, you as the teacher will act as an  editor.  You will give out the assignment, give the writers the freedom  to write in their own style, edit their work, and return the work to the  writers for revisions.  You will edit the revisions, return the work,  and await another revision.  This will go on, back and forth, until the  writing is flawless.  Be consistent and unyielding in your editing  process, and soon you will have a perfect writer (or a class full of  perfect writers) on your hands. Step One:  Assign the Writing Task.Have the student (or students) write something at least a page long—a  story, a biography, a TV review, or a book report.  For more advanced  writers, assign a research paper or longer story.  For students who hate  to write, don’t pressure them into writing something massive, just  whatever comes to mind.  If it’s only two paragraphs, that’s still a  good start.  Depending on the student’s skill, this may be the only  assignment he or she gets for the entire school year.  But it will last  the entire school year.  Explain to the students that they will revise  their writing assignments over and over until they are perfect, even if  it takes all year.  They need to understand this ongoing process or they  might feel like each edit is a rejection.Step Two:  Assign a Deadline for the First Draft.For the first draft, one week should be enough.  You may have students  (or if you are a mom, your one child) who will hand in nothing or just a  sentence.  Do not be discouraged by this.  Chances are, the child is  self-conscious about his or her writing and is reluctant to show you.   It is vital that you address these students individually.  Question each  one until you find something he or she is interested in.  That will be  the topic you will assign.  If they are still reluctant, have them start  with one paragraph.  Accept that paragraph as the first draft with the  intention of building it up. Step Three:  Mark It UpEdit each paper meticulously, using red pen or, if the paper was  submitted electronically, the word processor’s markup feature.  For  every markup, however, you must include an explanation.  If the error  lies with subject/verb agreement, for example, explain what that means  or refer the student to a page in his or her grammar book.  Mark every  missing punctuation and cross out unnecessary capital letters.    Step Four:  Be the EditorIn addition to simply proofreading a paper, offer suggestions to the  writer.  Tell the writer to write more details about a specific subject.   Request more adjectives or less repetition of the same words.  Ask  questions in your editing to prompt the student to clarify.  Return the  paper to the student to revise.Step Five:  Set Another DeadlineIf necessary, allow the students to work on their revisions in class so  they can ask questions if they need to.  If you make them revise their  work at home, you may never get it back.  In class, as long as they know  exactly what to change, the task should be easy for them. Step Six:  Editing with PraiseIn this next edit, be sure to note how well the writing is coming along.   Comments like “Did that really happen?” or “That’s funny!” will go a  long way to boost your student’s confidence.  Make more suggestions to  improve the readability of the piece.Step Seven:  Don’t Give UpAfter three revisions, you might be tempted to say, “This is good  enough.”  But remember that you are not looking for “good enough.”  You  are looking for perfect.  The students may groan and complain, but you  are doing the best thing in the world for them.  Don’t give up now.   Mark it up, send it back, set another deadline.Step Eight:  Get PickyThe student has done everything you’ve asked.  It is time to nitpick, to  find the most common and almost unnoticeable errors.  Find errors that  adults or even businesses commonly make.  Make sure the paper has a good  introduction and a satisfying conclusion.  Make sure the title is  catchy and the student’s name and headings are exactly as instructed.   What about content?  Is the story interesting enough?Step Nine:  Have the Student Read AloudWhen you think all the revisions are complete, have each student read  his or her paper out loud, either in front of you or in front of the  class.  Make notes where the student stammers or hesitates.  This might  indicate a section where the sentence flow is poor.  Your critique of  their readings will mark the final edit of the piece.Step Ten:  Finalize and CongratulateAfter the students read their papers aloud, have them make last minute  revisions based on your critique and hand in the final copy.  By this  time, every paper, whether it is one page or twenty, should be nearly  professional in quality.  Congratulate each student, and congratulate  yourself.This hands on method of teaching students to write will stay with them  throughout each of their  lives.  Each time they read a business letter  or log onto the Internet, they will subconsciously mimic you in picking  out mistakes. Writing is a skill that takes practice.  But that practice sometimes  needs a little guidance.  If you guide your students through one single  writing assignment and stay with them from beginning to end, you will be  giving them the gift of a lifetime.  Not only will you improve the  writing skills of a group of young students, but you will be  contributing to the literary betterment of the world.Butchi Collected</blockquote>
