the intended target group for a message, regardless of the medium
the author’s primary goal in a piece of writing, such as to narrate, to argue, to review, to explain, or to examine.
a technique in which many ideas are generated quickly and without judgment or evaluation, usually as part of a problem-solving process or to inspire creative thinking Brainstorming may happen in a classroom, with a small group, or individually.
the product a writer creates during the writing process when the writer organizes thoughts and attempts to create a cohesive text that supports the purpose and message
a prewriting technique in which a person writes continuously for a set period of time without regard to spelling, grammar, or topic Freewriting is similar to brainstorming but written in sentence and paragraph form and produces raw, often unusable material that has the potential to increase the flow of ideas for writers.
the type or class of a work, usually categorized by form, technique, or content Literary genres include tragedy, comedy, poetry, novel, short story, creative/literary nonfiction, etc. and the sub genres of fantasy, science fiction, mystery, horror, satire, etc. Nonfiction genres include biography, essay, memoir, historical text, scientific text, academic reporting, etc.
a structured way to organize thoughts and notes on a topic prior to writing; an organized format for showing important information and relationships among pieces of information by using a series of boxes, circles, or lines. Note: Mapping is different from the unstructured strategy of brainstorming wherein students produce notes in a more random, unrelated manner.
Planning the rough draft of a piece of writing, often referred to as prewriting, is the first step in the writing process. In this step, students choose their subject (topic), identify the audience and intended purpose, and begin to organize their thoughts using a number of strategies such as brainstorming.

Primeras etapas de un texto al que se le hacen las correcciones y modificaciones necesarias para que el escritor pueda elaborar un texto final.
Cada una de las distintas categorías o clases en que se pueden ordenar las obras escritas según características comunes de forma y de contenido.

Summary: In this study, Klein and Rose examine how students respond to various writing tasks and assignments. The teachers used the process writing approach, which included creating an outline, drafts, and a final paper. The revision and edit process lends itself to implementing teacher and peer oral and written feedback. The study reveals that there are specific as well as varied means to teach the writing process to students. Students must use prior knowledge and have access to relevant external sources (i.e. internet).
