Writing to Learn

How can we best help student writers sort through the writing they do have to help them find out what they really want to say?

How can we help writers shape their "jumbled messes" [their own words and sometimes ours! :-)] into coherent work ready for readers?

Often, I find the juiciest, most meaningful writing in the very last paragraph of a writer's paper . . . I wonder if she could have gotten there without writing all of that "other junk" first?
