An important element of the process approach is the meaningfulness it brings to learners, who make a personal connection to the topic and come to understand the processes they follow when writing about it. This starts with prewriting and brainstorming to generate ideas and activate the schemata, which is the background experience or world knowledge a person possesses that allows a writer to relate personal experiences to the topic and discover everything he or she has to say. Since many student writers do not possess the strategies to recall, trigger, and activate these stored experiences while writing, the role of the teacher in strategy training is paramount. The result will be improved student writing because the connection with the topic and processes gives students something interesting to write about and the tools to do it.
