The Writing Process

What makes a sentence? A sentence is a complete thought Sentence must have a subject A sentence must have a verb

Paraphrasing a Paragraph A paragraph focuses on one topic at a time. –For example: What a person’s goals are A paragraph must be indented A paragraph must have 4-6 sentences

A Perfect Paper To write a complete paper you must have at least 5 paragraphs The first paragraph is the introduction –The introduction needs to have a thesis or a sentence explaining what the paper is about The last paragraph is the conclusion The middle paragraphs are the body of the paper.

5 steps to writing Prewriting- webbing or outlining Rough Draft- getting your ideas on paper Revise- remember your ARMS (add, remove, move, start over) Edit- find all those comma mistakes Publish- your final draft (It should be perfect!)

Prewrite Web- looks like this  Outline –Topic Ideas –Example Idea –Next Topic

The purpose of prewriting is to organize your thoughts.

Rough Draft Now that you know what you are writing about, start writing Do not worry about- grammar errors, organizational error, or spelling errors. Just get your thoughts down!!!!

Revising A- add. What do you need to add to the paper to make if flow better (think about transitions and any lack of facts) R- Remove- remove any unnecessary information M- Move- what information would go better in another spot. Make sure that all of your paragraphs are on the same topic. S- Start over. If you paper/paragraph isn’t working start over

Edit Errors to look for- –Comma –Spelling –Other punctuation –Word order –Subject verb agreement When you are editing it is sometimes a good idea to read your paper backwards!

Publishing This is your final draft make sure that it is perfect!
