Effective writing Discovering


Writing as discovering
Background :
Although writing is commonly characterized as a process of discovery ,there are constrasting
conception of what this implies about the writing process.
models of the cognitive processing in writing treat discovery as a side-
effect of the processes required for effective communication and associate it with the
adaption of thought to rhetorical goals.

Aim:
In this paper, l agree that these overemphasize the role of explicit thinking process in writing
at the expense of more implicit text production processes.

Agreement:
Following a review of research investigating the condition under which writer discourse new
ideas through writing, which I agree contradicts important features of the classical account of
discovering.

Conclusion:
The model identifies two conflicting processes in writing: an explicit planning processes
incorporating many of the feature assumed by classical models of writing,and an implicit text
production process,which operates according to connectionist processing principle.
