Significance of the Study
2 Drafting
After planning, the students start to write their first draft of the composition. The goal of the first draft is to get the ideas on paper. The
students are taught to focus on their expression of ideas and present them in a coherence and cohesive sequence. In addition, they are also told not to
mind spelling and mehcanics at this step.
3 Revision
When the students have finished their draft, every group member reads the writing of other group member and gives feedback on the clarity
and organization of the ideas in the draft. The feedback given by students should be meaningful in terms of what they liked and what they want to
know more about. It is about how they respond to and understand what is written. The students then could use the feedback to revise the writing and
make it more easily understood.
4 Editing
After they have revised their content of writing, each group member gives the composition to other group members for editing. During
the editing, they focus on the mechanics and spelling. Students were given an editing checklist to help them focus on specific skills as they edited
another student’s work. The feedback given by the other member could be considered to correct errors and improve the quality composition of
hisher writing. The teacher also should read and check the students’ work before the final draft.
5 Final Draft
The students share their final draft after they have edited and completed the previous step with other groups or the whole class. There
should be less or none errors in the final draft as they have corrected during editing.
