Writing TEST

Time: Pre-Write/Plan – 15 minutes Rough Draft - 35 minutes Revise - 25 minutes Final Draft - 20 minutes Proofread - 10 minutes

Pre-write/Plan Read the writing situations carefully and decide which prompt you want to write about. Formulate your thoughts by using a concept web, a jot list, etc.

Rough Draft This is the “Meat” of your writing. Spend the most time here. Formulate your thoughts, organize, elaborate, etc.

Revise REMEMBER – Revise means to change, edit, make your paper better! Make sure that your paper has a clear beginning, middle, and end. Change it and make it the best it can be!!

Final Draft This must be done in blue or black ink. You are copying your REVISED rough draft. Write as neatly as you can.

Proofread This is your last chance to read over your paper and correct any spelling, grammar, or usage mistakes.
