+ The Writing Process

+ Rationale The act of composing a document is a process Everyone’s writing process is different By becoming aware of your personal writing process you will be able to better understand your strengths and weaknesses

+ Writing is a Process: Donald M. Murray Three stages of composing: prewriting, writing, rewriting From “Teaching Writing as a Process Not a Product”

+ Prewriting according to Murray Takes the most time can include activities such as Daydreaming Brainstorming Note taking Outlining Free-writing

+ Writing Shortest part of the process Can be intimidating

+ Rewriting Can include editing

+ Muriel Harris Known for her study of drafting processes Two extremes one-drafters multi-drafters

+ One-drafters Do most of the planning mentally Sometimes will use brief notes Outlines are not really helpful Rarely rewrite a paper

+ Pros and Cons Pros: Efficient produce good quality drafts Cons: limit their exploration Procrastination less likely to enjoy writing less likely to revise

+ Multi-drafters Exploration through writing Continually revising and rewriting

+ Pros and Cons Pros: Deep exploration of ideas More likely to enjoy writing Cons: Often miss deadlines Can get lost in own writing First drafts might not look great

+ Other spots on the continuum Writers who plan in advance Writers who discover ideas through writing Writers who spend equal time on planning, writing, and revising Writers who delay
