Abstract

Writing is one of the most difficult skills for both teachers and learners in that it is interfered with many factors, especially
the cognitive ones. In a writing process, along with the grammar and vocabulary knowledge, organization is a crucial tool
that achieves the ‘flow’ of writing. A well-prepared organization scheme makes the writing process easier for teachers to
manage and for learners to write. The purpose of this paper is to present some theoretical information about improving
writing organization skill with the help of fairy tales’ plot line as a model. After an extensive review of literature about the
topic, some conclusions were drawn and recommendations were made for further studies.

Keywords: Writing skills, writing organization skill, fairy tales.
