Choose Your
Own Adventure
The Writing Process Activity
Tutorial
Introduction
Each one of you have different “funds of knowledge’ about the writing process and how it works.
Why then, would I teach each of you in the exact same way? The answer is, of course, I
wouldn’t! That would be unthinkable! Not to mention BORING! That’s why I’ve provided you with
a self-guided resource.
This activity is exactly what it sounds like, a “Choose Your Own Adventure” activity. In the
writing process there are many choices you have to make. That’s what the writing process is a
series of choices. This activity is designed to help you see all of these choices and start to figure
out who you are as a writer.
This is a tutorial for the writing process activity.
