Blind Sequencing: Discovering the Writing Process

Today, students worked in groups of four to discover the writing process.  Each student received a folder which they studied.  The contents of their folders were secret and only viewed by that student.  

After students understood their folders, they had to report and summarize the contents to their group.  Based on these reports, the group put the four folders in order without looking at the contents.  

After they established the order, groups were allowed to look at each folder and make changes to their order.  Inside their folders, students found:

1. Prewriting (planning and brainstorming) 
2. Rough Draft (containing errors and first ideas for the story)
3. Edited/Revised Version (someone had corrected many mistakes on this version) 
4. Published Story (a typed and well-written story) 






In  conclusion, The Cool Dudes created our own writing process and we have begun out first stories following these steps.
