Introduction: This article is the result of the application of a didactic sequence to the 11 th grade of the “Institución Educativa Manuel Elkin Patarroyo” of the city of Girardot.

Results: The texts were compiled and a book was prepared (ready for publication) with a total of twenty-nine authors.
Conclusions: This set of strategies and processes strengthened the students’ competence with the production of written text in addition to broadening their understanding of its context thanks to authentic writing.
