Guided Composition for beginners in writing

1. GUIDED COMPOSITION

2. What is composition writing? Composition can mean two things. It can mean a piece of writing, or it can mean the art and process of writing. Composition isn’t a specific type of writing like an essay or a blog post. Instead, it’s a broad term that can refer to any (usually nonfiction) work and how a piece is written. Every essay is a composition, but not every composition is an essay. A composition can also be a book report, a presentation, a short response to a reading assignment, or a research paper. 

3. Composition writing follows the same writing process as every other kind of writing. Here are the steps: Brainstorm Outline First draft Edit Proofread

4. What is Guided Composition? Guided compositions are those where the pupils are supplied with all the necessary structures, vocabulary, thoughts and ideas to be expressed. It is usually introduced at an early stage that's why the teachers remain involved in it and constantly guide the students to create short writing content.

5. Why Guided Composition is practiced? Measuring the skill of the student Command over English General Knowledge Grasp on the themes Common Sense Academic Depth Writing a guided composition is a skill of putting together the given facts and information into a cohesive composite structure.

6. Given guidelines and information help the writer to easily construct the composition with some common sense and intelligence, backed up by a reasonable amount of general knowledge expected. It is like filling up a skeleton with flesh to compose a whole animal. The use of proper sentences, correct and related expressions can breathe life into it. For that read the clues carefully and understand the subject with clear mind.

7. Dos and Don’ts: Keep your language straight forward. Don’t beat around the bush or spin meaningless yarns. Keep the sentence brief, to the point, grammatically correct and words simple. Do not use out-of-context bombastic words just to show your vocabulary. Avoid twisting and exaggerating facts. Do not bury the central theme under poetic expressions, slogans, loud wording and jargans or unnecessary idioms.

9. Transcription , or  transcribing  as it is often referred to, is the process of converting speech from an audio or video recording into text. Dictation is the process of writing down what someone else has said. A substitution table is when a teacher provides a table giving model sentences with a range of choices for learners to select from, using a set pattern. A jumbled-up sentence is a set of words that are mixed up and need to be rearranged into a proper sequence in order to make a complete, meaningful sentence.

10. 5. Pairs of sentences are combined to make one idea. The two essential parts of a sentence are the subject and the predicate (verb portion). 6. Conversion exercise: Change of tense, or change of simple sentence into complex or compound sentence, or simple writing into academic writing. 7. A complete sentence is a group of words that tells complete thought and it begins with capital letter and ends with punctuation marks. When a part is missing, it should be filled appropriately. 8. Proper answers to be given to the questions asked.

11. 9. Parallel construction means that words or phrases are written in the same form. If one phrase in a list begins with "of," then other phrases should, too. Ex:  I like skiing, ice skating, and hiking. 10. A writing situation refers to the context in which a piece of writing is created, including the purpose, audience, and constraints. 11. Action in writing means something that has story consequences. Action means that the protagonist either comes into contact with another character or encounters an obstacle or makes an effort to reach a goal or does something in the world of the story that is significant and moves the story forward.

12. 12. An image description is a written caption that describes the essential information in an image. Image descriptions can define photos, graphics, gifs, and video — basically anything containing visual information. 13. Reproducing a story: Developing a story with the available hints.

13. Helping others Once upon a time, there was a boy named  Raju in Narmada village. Everyday after school, he had to cross a river to reach his home. One such day, he got onto a boat that was already filled by three men, one woman and her five-year-old kid. Once Raju climbed on board, the fisherman began to row the boat to the other side of the bank. However once on reaching the center, the heavy breeze began to push the boat to and fro. Due to this hustle, the kid fell into the river. However none of the men came up to lend a helping hand to the kid. Raju brought up all his courage and jumped into the river to save the kid. Raju rescued the kid and the kid's mother thanked him. This news spread like wildfire throughout the village. Raju's school headmaster rewarded Raju with a medal for saving the kid.
