HOW TO TEACH WRITING OF NARATIVE TEXT FOR SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL

CHAPTER I :  INTRODUCTION
A. The meaning of writing
Writing is anything written or printed; anything expressed in characters or letters
and the activity of putting something in written . Writing also a hobby of someone.

CHAPTER II : CONTENT
B. How To Teach Writing : These are some methods for generating writing ideas
One of the most important things to remember when teaching writing is that writing is a process.Very few native speakers will ever start writing at the top of the first page and continue straight through until they finish at bottom of the last one. The first step in the writing process is coming up with our thoughts and ideas, also known as prewriting. Prewriting helps students gather ideas and give them a bank of possibilities for their writing. This way, as students write they do not have to make decisions simultaneously about content and language. The teacher help the students get a head start before they write with any of these three methods for prewriting.

C. The Technique to teach writing

1. Brainstorming
Brainstorming is similar to freewriting in that you write down everything you can think of without considering whether it is valid, good or useable.  The difference between freewriting and brainstorming is that freewriting takes on a format that looks something like a paragraph, while brainstorming usually results in a list of words and phrases.  When brainstorming, it isn't necessary to keep writing continuously; just jot down ideas that seem related to your topic
2. Free writing
Free writing is an individual activity for getting thoughts from your head on to paper. Explain the concept of stream of consciousness to the students and tell them that free writing is simply putting on paper every thought that is going through their heads. Like with brainstorming, anything goes. The goal of this activity is to never let your pen or pencil stop writing.
D. Teaching Writing Skills
The most important factor in writing exercises is that students need to be personally involved in order to make the learning experience of lasting value. Encouraging student participation in the exercise, while at the same time refining and expanding writing skills, requires a certain pragmatic approach. The teacher should be clear on what skills he/she is trying to develop. Next, the teacher needs to decide on which means (or type of exercise) can facilitate learning of the target area. Once the target skill areas and means of implementation are defined, the teacher can then proceed to focus on what topic can be employed to ensure student participation. By pragmatically combing these objectives, the teacher can expect both enthusiasm and effective learning.

Process Writing Activities

a- Pre-writing: A Place to Start
Pre-writing, the first stage in the writing process, begins long before the writer puts thoughts into writing. The experiences, observations, and interactions that students have prior to entering the classroom have an impact upon what they will write and how they will write it. Within the classroom, pre-writing prompts and activities can be integrated into the writing process as scaffolds by teachers to help students generate ideas for their writing and to practice the thinking skills inherent in the activity.
To initiate thinking and generate possible writing topics, it is important for students to explore ideas for writing topics using a variety of pre-writing strategies, such as the following:

- Brainstorming
- Interviewing a person knowledgeable about the topic
- Listening to music
- Reading about and researching the topic

b. Planning: Organizing for Drafting
After students have generated some ideas, they must decide what they will say about their chosen topic. Students develop an initial plan for the product they will compose. As they do so, they must consider the purpose, audience, point of view, and format because these elements have implications for both the planning and the drafting of the written product.     To develop an initial plan for drafting, students organize the information they have generated during pre-writing by using such structures as outlines, story frames, maps, diagrams, charts, and concept webs.

c. Drafting: A Time to Indulge
At this point in the process, the emphasis is on content and meaning rather than on mechanics and conventions. This is the time for writers to get down their ideas and thoughts, composing rough drafts based upon pre-writing and planning activities and considerations. As they compose, writers begin to determine what to include and exclude, and make initial decisions about how these ideas will be organized. During the drafting stage of the writing process, meaning begins to evolve.

d. Post-writing: Preparing To Go Public
When students have an authentic audience and purpose, they want to rework their written drafts, polishing them for presentation or publication. Going public means taking a huge risk; the student's self-esteem is on the line, so the decision about how and with whom to share their writing must be up to the student writer. Teachers may encourage students to share certain pieces or determine the number of pieces that students are required to share or publish within a set time period, but ultimately the decision about which pieces to share, and with whom, should be left up to the writer.

F. The Application to teach Writing for Senior High School
