Writing: Processing Involved in the Task

This week, Barbara shared her mind map of the processing involved in the task of writing.  We have been permitted to share that comprehensive mind map on our blogspots.  It is incredible when you stop to think about what we do to write (i.e. the processing involved in this task).

With so many features/characteristics involved in this task, there are many places where a processing error can occur.  It is no wonder so many universities have writing centres (and other support services) and I have a job at one.

Barbara has set a new goal for herself.  She hopes to construct a new mind map that includes AT useful for writing tasks.  (...and I thought this image was comprehensive!)
