The Writing Process Pre-Writing- brainstorm ideas– jot list, clustering/mapping, free writing, and draw a picture Drafting- Get it down on paper– pick your best idea(s) and start writing, do not unduly worry about correctness, this a draft- that means unfinished, this not the time to edit- that comes later Revising- Read, reread, and reread again– read your finished draft- focus on content and organization, is the BEST way to say what you want to say? Does it accomplish your purpose? Will you audience have any questions? Editing(proofreading)- pay attention to conventions, check non-negotiables, DO NOT RLY SOULY ON SELF-CHECK Evaluating-Two types– Self evaluation and peer evaluation; Self evaluation: looking at your own writing and looking for improvement; peer evaluation: getting an editor or editors to look at your writing and check for improvements. Publishing- write a final neat, copy or type a final neat copy on correct MLA format, illustrate and display the writing, share your writing with an audience.

6+1 Traits Ideas- the heart and soul of the message, the content of the piece of writing, the main theme, together with details that enrich and develop that theme. Organization- the internal structure of the piece, the thread of central meaning, and the logical pattern of the ideas in the piece Voice-The heart and soul, the magic, the wit, along with the feelings and convincing the writer to come out through words. Word choice- the use of rich, colorful, precise language that moves and enlightens the reader

6+1 Traits (continued) Sentence Fluency- the rhythm and flow of the language; how the writing sounds Conventions-the mechanical correctness of the piece Presentation-focus on the formal layout of your writing

Voice Your lips speak soft sweetness Your touch a cool caress I am lost in your magic My heart beats within your chest I think of you each morning And dream of you each night I think of your arms being around me And cannot express my delight Never have I fallen But I am quickly on my way You hold a heart in your hands That has never before been given away Author: Rex A.
