The sampleofmy study is based on lesson plans with a pronounced idea of writing as a processThe thesis beginswith a review of the Literacy concepts, the writingdiscourse and the subject of Swedish.The analyses of the lesson plans indicate that the subject of Swedish mainly focuses on skills as correctly written text and good handwriting. Even if the instructions of the lesson plans clearly state that the actual content is important, the formalities and the correctness seem to be the real focus. Even if it says in the instructions that it is the content that matters, is it the correctness of the formalities that is pronounced in the instructions. Teachers says that they work with writing as a process but theydo it in a mechanical wayand the dialogue between the studentislimited to respons-giving instead of interaction in order todevelop the content ofthe texts. Most of the texts that thestudentsin both primary and secondary school are asked to write in my study arenarrative texts with descriptive elements.Mystudy indicates six findingsThe first tendency issubject of Swedish has an emphasis on writing as a skill.
