something i.e., a piece of information, an
idea, or a memory.

3) A teacher introduces young children to

how to write as, by the time they start
schooling for the first time, they are already
capable of talking with confidence with a
variety of people on various topics.

physical act of writing. Skills like research,
planning and outlining, editing, revising,

critical components of the writing process.
