Our Process Writing Lessons cover a variety of text types and teach the structure, elements, and purpose of each. Lessons follow the five steps of the writing process: prewrite, draft, revise, edit, and publish. Each writing lesson also includes differentiated resources written to four developmental writing levels to meet every student at his or her individual writing level.
