Summary
Sometimes inexperienced writers think the ability to write effectively is
an inborn talent—that some people just have a knack for writing and
others do not. However, strong writers did not acquire the ability to write
well from genetics. They became effective writers from study, practice, and
discipline. Just as athletes, carpenters, welders, hair stylists, and cooks
learn new techniques, strategies, and moves, so do writers. Writers must
study and practice to write well.
This module is devised to provide learners with the needed writing tools and processes, and how to apply them to write a short paragraph.
