Writing is the process of expressing ideas through words in stories, essays, reports, and creative texts. In Grade 6, students develop stronger skills in planning, drafting, revising, and presenting their work. Through inquiry learning, they ask questions about purpose and audience, explore different styles, and reflect on their progress. Instead of only copying examples, they practice creating original pieces, experimenting with voice, and sharing with peers. By connecting writing to real-life communication, Writing becomes more than assignments, it becomes a tool for creativity, critical thinking, and lifelong expression.
