QUESTION 1
1.1 Four steps related to creative writing in children’s literature
1. Planning
During planning, learners decide what they want to write about and collect suitable
ideas. They may use brainstorming, pictures, lists or a mind map to organise the
characters, setting and main events before writing begins. Planning gives the story
direction and helps learners place their ideas in a sensible order (CHL2601 Study
Guide, 2020, p. 87).
2. Drafting

2. Drafting
Drafting involves writing the first version of the story from the ideas developed during
planning. At this stage, learners should concentrate on expressing their ideas without
becoming too worried about producing perfect spelling and grammar. The first draft
provides material that can later be improved (CHL2601 Study Guide, 2020, p. 89).
3. Revising
During revision, learners read their drafts and decide what should be added,
removed, corrected or rearranged. They check whether the story is clear, whether
events follow one another properly and whether the words communicate the
intended meaning. Learners may receive guidance from the teacher or feedback
from classmates (CHL2601 Study Guide, 2020, p. 89).
4. Publishing
Publishing involves preparing and sharing the final version of the writing after
corrections have been completed. Learners may rewrite or type the story neatly, add
illustrations and display it in the classroom, place it in a class book or read it aloud.
Publishing helps children see themselves as real authors whose work can be
enjoyed by others (CHL2601 Study Guide, 2020, p. 89).
