2. How do you teach writing skills?

At Beginning One Level the focus is on fluency, not on accuracy. Most of the students have never written anything in English before. Basically what I do is I show them a model, and the model is myself. From that model the students write their stories. At that time I think I was just working on getting them to use a word processor. I wasn't really focusing on any specific grammatical skills. The grammar that I teach is how to capitalize, how to add a period, when to use a comma, but I don't really teach writing skills. I think the writing skills are developed from writing.
