INTRODUCTION
The students should understand that writing mostly relates to speaking, but has nothing to
do with paper and pen or computer. Students can write about different issues related to
current topics and personal interests. Many people believe writing is a matter of expressing
sentences without control but there are ways to encourage learners to be active participants
of writing processes like relating their products to subjects of interests like technology.
Sometimes it is evident students can’t keep on track of the main idea, and the structure of
the text may change. That’s why, writing well without additional tools needs motivation
and structure, then they will be ready to move up to the next level when they have
everything organized in their minds. Assessment for writing can take many different forms
in the classroom. It consists of anything teachers do to help students answer questions like
Where am I going?, Where am I now? How can I get to where I am going? Students are
now being asked to go beyond personal/reflective types of writing and write about specific
content or topics. Even opinion pieces go beyond giving a personal opinion and expect

Creative Writing:
Conceptions of creative writing are not isolated cognitive entities immune to the context
and the different situations in which student-writers are writing. They vary in individual
Creative writing is basically understood as being therapeutic and for the writer. It "works"
there is the concern that seeing writing with respect to a reader is "inauthentic", a betrayal
of self and of artistic integrity. The writer "dissents from" the prevailing forms of
readership and "releases" his/her inner narrative (or material) in a personal form (often
associated with stream of consciousness). The writer is not concerned with reader
notational kinds of conventions; punctuation, layout, spelling, etc. The writer readily
accepts that he/she is writing for a reader, but primarily at the level of their material: they
want to capture an experience, a scene, an idea, transcribe or document it the way they see
or feel it and "hopefully as well ... say ... something to somebody else." How the reader will
read it is an incidental situation over which they feel they have little control, "detached"
from the activity of writing. Concern mainly focuses on notational conventions and the
course requirements.
Social interaction:
Vygotsky's theories stress the fundamental role of social interaction in the development of
cognition (Vygotsky, 1978), as he believed strongly that community plays a central role in

Inquiry based learning is mainly involving the learner and leading him to understand.
Inquiry here implies on the possessing skills and attitude of yours, which allows you to ask
questions about new resolutions and issues while you are gaining new information.
Our traditional ways of teaching discourage the process of inquiry, this situation is evident
at San Bonifacio de la Lanzas school where they make the student get less prone to asking
questions as they move through their grade levels, they are just expected to listen and repeat
the expected answers. This is due to the lack of understanding of inquiry based learning.
Inquiry based learning is not just asking questions, but it is a way of converting data and
information into useful knowledge. A useful application of inquiry based learning involves
many different factors, which are, a different level of questions, a focus for questions, a
There are four essential elements on which inquiry based learning depends, which are, first
is that the patterns and meanings should not be deceptive to the beginners, second is that
the useful knowledge about a field should be structured, third is that the knowledge which
fourth is that the structured knowledge should be easily retrieved so that new information in
This final paper shows how different can be a process of writing a formal out come. It is
remarkable the fact of letting the students choose the topic of their choice, suggesting
between topics like technology, or society, also they can have the guidelines to start writing
and the most important they feel motivated by previous activities that do not involve
their opinions and getting involved in the topic through discussions and listening to their
own ideas, so that they already have a background about the text they ae going to write.
In the Need Analysis students express their dissatisfaction in the Writing Process, specially
by the lack of motivation and the fact of continue making the same mistakes over and over
that become errors. Also the Need Analysis show the perceptions of teachers related to
writing tasks and it is evident students need more motivation to improve their writing
process.
