Career Skills Enhancement Program (CSEP)
The Writing Process
OVERVIEW
This course’s main objective is to provide
the employee with the basic writing skills necessary to compose formal and
informal documents. The lessons and
exercises in this course describe writing as a six-step process rather than an
individual task. The participant
will develop an understanding of each of the six steps.
The participant will demonstrate knowledge of the process by creating
original essays and short stories.
Upon completion of this course, the
participant will demonstrate competencies in the writing process in the
following six areas:
 |
Reading the Writing Assignment (Or Choosing a Topic) |
|
Listing Your Ideas |
|
Grouping & Naming |
|
Adding Details & Putting Groups in Order |
|
Writing the Introductory Paragraph |
|
Writing the Body of Your Document |
EVALUATION
Evaluation process includes an informal
in-take on the current level of participant’s knowledge and skills as related to
reading and writing.
Competencies in each of the six steps will be measured with a pre- and
post-test.
The post-test of each of the six steps must be passed in order to
continue with the course.
Instructor observation will be used to determine rate of progression and amount
of practice and extra course work needed by the participant.
COMPLETION
Upon completion of the lessons and exercises of all six steps, the participant will create a series of writing documents. The participant completes course when he/she demonstrates the ability to create business/post-high school quality letters, memos, essays, and short stories.
