Abstract: In this article, I argue that a process approach which enables students to draft, discuss and revise then share and celebrate each other's compositions can support their writing development more effectively than the current near-exclusive use by English teachers in UK schools and colleges of the form of text modelling that requires students to emulate in their own writing features of a text written by someone else.
