Genre Approach

The document discusses the genre-based approach to teaching writing. It describes the genre-based approach as having three stages: modeling, joint negotiation of text, and independent construction. The approach focuses on social purpose, the reader's viewpoint, and imitation of models. It promotes negotiation between teachers and students and involves reading, research, and disseminating information. However, it may not prepare students for unpredictable real-world communication and cannot cover every genre within classroom time constraints.
