THE WRITING PROCESS AS LINKED TO THE 6+1 WRITING TRAITS

By

 During LIT class dated 11/10/23 we explored and discussed the steps to the writing process along with the 6+1 traits of writing. Its is evident that the writing process has developed over the years from what Britton (1970b) labeled them as conception, incubation and production. To what they are now a more complexed problem-solving process which entails Prewriting, Drafting, Revising, Editing and Publishing.

I am of the view that the writing process as a structure of non linear steps, is equipped to help writers convey their thought through print.





The writing process shows an interrelated relationship with the 6+1 traits of writing. V.O.I.C.E.S as it is acronym lends it self as an additional guide of teaching, modelling and assessing students journey through the writing process. The 6+1 traits to writing also acts as an instrument for each stage of the writing process to aid students in formulating ideas, organization of those ideas, selection of appropriate words and context to writing and to the presentation of these and more in a creative way.





The 6+1 Traits of Writing provide authors with an orderly method to evaluate their work and improve it at various phases of the writing process, which is why they are tied to the writing process. During the prewriting phase, writers utilize the "Ideas" attribute to generate material that is focused, lucid, and engaging. During the drafting and editing phases, focusing on "Organization," "Voice," and "Word Choice" will help you produce a well-organized and captivating piece of writing. When you write and edit, the "sentence fluency" attribute dictates how well the text flows. In order to eliminate errors throughout the editing and proofreading process, writers focus on adhering to "Conventions." In order to ensure that the work seems polished and professional, it is crucial to consider the "Presentation" feature while proofreading and formatting it for the last time.

My thoughts and information about the writing process and the 6 plus 1 traits connection

  I am now empowered with more information about the writing process thanks to the prior lesson. It is the process of examining the thoughts and actions writers make when writing. Early writers' processes were broken down into three stages conception, incubation and production. The writing process consists of several stages: prewriting, drafting, revising, editing, and publishing. Each stage plays a crucial role in developing a well-crafted piece of writing. My thoughts about this, writer is able to focus on specific aspects of their work at each stage, leading to more thorough and refined final products. Each step is essential to creating well-crafted written work because it gives writer the chance to come up with ideas, organize them into a draft, improve the work's structure and clarity, proofread compositions for errors, and create it to the audience it is intended for. I have never come across the 6 plus 1 traits but as I had to research for class and had a class discussio

The Writing Process and 6+1 Traits

       During our previous class, we explored "The Writing Process" as well as "The 6+1 Traits of Writing".          Writing is, for me, this ever-changing, non-linear journey along which I discover a unique way to put thoughts into words.  The entire process can be broken down into five stages, such as prewriting, drafting, revising, editing, and publishing. Because the process is inherently recursive, I find it especially freeing. At any point, one can go back and review their methods to make them better.        The 6+1 Traits of Writing is more than a method of education; it highlights the complex landscape of writing, in my opinion. A thorough framework for navigating all aspects of the writing process, it addresses the essential elements of ideas, organization, voice, word choice, sentence fluency, conventions, and presentation. I think it's really helpful to be able to concentrate on just one or two elements of a piece of writing at a time. The learning p
