Writing is a process that involves actions, steps, behaviors, thoughts and changes. The agenda for the 8th grade language arts class included a vocabulary and spelling test, discussing what writing is, and assignments for The Outsiders chapters 4-5, literature circles, a spelling post test, and a reading log due on Friday. The document also included a quote from Kurt Vonnegut Jr. that describes writing as a process of improving and inflating an idea over time through repetition.
