We are addressing how teachers need to show students that writing cycle is used when someone is ready to finish a written piece and what four skills a teacher should address in order to teach a student a new skill. There is a total of six stages a writer goes through in order to have a complete piece. It consists of prewriting, rough drafting, revising, proofreading, publishing, and the importance of reading. As for the skills, the students need to learn we start with teaching students the editing process, create and editing routine, teach students the editing routine, diagnose student needs, and teaching skills in an editing conference. By showing the students these steps and skills, we can make them effective editors.

A teacher may give the student a set of guidelines to follow in order to ensure they know what they are looking for while editing (Fletcher & Portalupi, p.92). Teaching a student the editing routine is also an extremely important step because following a guideline or checklist does not teach editing skills (Fletcher & Portalupi, p.94). It is encouraged to model how to go about the checklist by going through each step on a big screen allowing the student to see what they are doing and make any changes needed on their own pages (Fletcher & Portalupi, p. 94). Since this is not a one on one process some students may not following along and are still struggling this is the why a teacher needs to diagnose any student needs. This is done once a student feels they are done with their writing and turn it into the teacher allowing them to go through it and find any mistakes. Before doing this Fletcher & Portalupi suggest finding a few skills to teach at this point depending on the students’ needs help with while reviewing their writing (p. 95). Once the teacher has found skills to teach, you can make the connection with the writing and then model how to fix the problem. This is how skills are taught and learned effectively. This is usually done in an editing conference. It is a chance to gather all the students who are struggling in the same area for a short, focused lesson (Fletcher & Portalupi, p. 98). Once the teacher began to follow these steps in the classroom they were able to make a connection with what they were writing and what skills they need to learn at this point. It makes this an easy process for the teachers to follow, ensuring they have enough time to teach any skills needed and have time for writer’s
