PREWRITING The 1st step of the writing process.

Things you do during prewriting Choose your topic Identify your audience Identify your purpose Gather supporting details

Prewriting Strategies Write for a limited amount of time on whatever comes to mind Formalized list-making Bubble map (also called mapping or webbing) Formulate questions you have about the topic then look for answers (research)

Audience Anyone who is going to “receive” your work

Why you need to know your audience Amount of information Word choice Kinds of details Formal/Informal

Purpose Why you’re writing What you want to accomplish

Examples of Purposes Inform – research paper Entertain – descriptive essay Persuade – persuasive essay Explain

Why you need to know your purpose Word choice Organization Kinds of details

DRAFTING The 2nd step of the writing process

Things you do during drafting Turn prewriting ideas into sentences Group sentences into paragraphs Organize the paragraphs based on purpose Get something that looks like a formal piece of writing

Main Idea The point the writing supports

Thesis statement One sentence that tells what the entire essay is going to be about All paragraphs in the essay support the thesis statement Determines how many and what kinds of details go in the essay

Topic Sentence One sentence that tells what the paragraph is going to be about All sentences in the paragraph support the topic sentence

Style Whether the paper is written formally or informally Determined by audience and purpose

Organization Important decisions to be made during drafting Supporting details have to go in an order that makes sense Determined by purpose

Methods of Organization Chronological – time order Spatial order – how details are related to other details; as you become aware of them; always has a starting point Compare & contrast – based on similarities and differences Emphatic order – based on order of importance

REVISING (content level changes) The 3rd step in the writing process

Unity All details relate to the topic All paragraphs in the essay relate to the thesis All sentences in the paragraph relate to the topic sentence

Coherence Details are arranged in a way that makes sense

Why Revising Is Important Your writing needs to make sense You need to include all necessary details You need to get rid of any unnecessary details

EDITING (sentence level changes) The 4th step in the writing process

Things You Look for During Editing Grammar (fragments, run-ons, usage errors) Mechanics (punctuation, capitalization) Spelling

Why Editing is Important Good papers look bad if they have a lot of errors Errors get in the way of content Editing errors put your teacher in a bad mood 
