"I'll Keep Going until It Sounds Right:" An Assessment of Students' Conceptualisations of Composing Processes
Morris, Clare
English Teaching: Practice and Critique, v6 n1 p69-96 May 2007
Considering both current and historical perspectives, this article addresses conceptualisations of composing processes. Drawing on the findings of a recent research project, the article explores the significances of perspectives articulated by students in response to writing tasks and emphasises the multi-faceted nature of those perspectives. It argues that understandings of students' conceptualisations of composing processes can offer useful insights into progression and development in students' written work. (Contains 9 figures.)
