Chapter eleven discusses writing in stages towards writing. The first sentence states that "writing, the second stage of composing, requires considerable concentration" (175). Having to teach writing on the secondary level will be quite difficult, especially for those students who are not motivated to write. The chapter suggests several ways to approach a student about writing in the classroom. The chapter also points out parts of speech, active and passive voice, derivational and inflectional affixes, style and suggestions on teaching students about languages. This chapter can be very effective beause it also focuses on grammar.
The chapter points out a good quotation from Donald Murrary, which states "the writer toys with language, knowing that out of his most irresponsible word play may come his most responsible writing" (175). Creative writing has alot to do with this. I want my class to focus on this type of writing, being able to create their own ideas and then be able to realize that they do not need other people's thoughts to make theirs.
