Writing activities entail the activation of students’ present wisdom so that students are pedagogically encouraged to be involved. This paper revealed what the teacher designed, observed and reflected in a lesson of argumentative writing project in which students’ ideas on the decided topic were profoundly manipulated. It was initiated by the review of necessities of discourse markers to build a sound paragraph and a format of argumentative essay for eight High Intermediate High School Students in a non-formal English Institution. Subsequently, they embarked to weigh the essence of the topic based on their own wisdom interactively. Essentially, it also disclosed the elaborated accounts of how the 4Cs principles, that are collaboration, creativity, communication and a certain extent of critical thinking that students were exposed as completing the writing project held in the classroom. On the basis of questionnaire responding to the writing activities and teacher observation, it was argued that all students were enjoyably contented as experiencing the overall phases of activities prior to the writing completion. Hence, some further research in depth as well as an unevitable need of well-designed writing processes in the teachers’ mind shall be pursued.
