Drafting: getting your ideas on paper in an organized way. Give yourself ample time to work on your project. Find a comfortable place to do your writing. Avoid distractions. Take breaks.

Revising: reviewing ideas and making changes Review higher-order concerns:  Clear communication of ideas  Organization of paper  Paragraph structure  Strong introduction and conclusion

Editing: checking for correctness Review later- order concerns:  Spelling  Punctuation  Capitalization  Grammar  Format

Editing Tips Slowly read your paper aloud. Read your paper backwards. Exchange papers with a friend. NOTE: Spell check will not catch everything, and grammar checks are often wrong!

Publishing: creating a final copy that celebrates your work Format:  Final Draft (minimum: 1 ½ pages written, 1 page typed)  Final drafts must be written in ink or typed  Typed: double spaced, times new roman, font size 12  Written: legible, black ink, no skipping lines
