1301 Spring 2016 Day 8 Lessons

What to expect today: Questions over the reading Check Attendance The Writing Process Generating Ideas Thesis Statements Organizing Ideas Revising & Editing Collaborating Brainstorming Exercise

The Writing Process—5 Steps Prewriting ▫Coming up with ideas (brainstorming) ▫Research ▫Drafting a thesis ▫Outlining Drafting Revising (making big changes) Editing (making small changes, includes proofreading) Publishing (releasing to a reader)

Prewriting: Generating Ideas Brainstorm (listing) Freewrite Looping Clustering Questioning Mindmapping Keep a Journal Do some research

Prewriting: Write a Thesis State your topic as a question. Turn your question into a position. Narrow your thesis. Qualify your thesis.

Prewriting: Outline your ideas Informal outlines have a working thesis and contain the main paragraph points. They are quickly jotted down and involve keywords. Formal outlines use roman numerals and letters to arrange ideas. They are often typed and use complete sentences. They include more detail such as in which paragraphs the writer will use what research. Outlines are great roadmaps for your ideas. They help you avoid writer’s block.

Drafting Write quickly in spurts. Expect surprises (you may move onto different ideas than your outline suggests). Expect to write more than one draft, or don’t fall in love with your first draft. Don’t worry about correctness as you write. Write where you feel comfortable and how you feel comfortable. This part of the process is unique to every writer.

Revising Remember revision should concern global changes (i.e. adding or subtracting entire paragraphs, moving them around, rewriting your thesis). Give yourself time between drafting and revising. Use revision to sharpen your focus and make sure all elements of your essay point back to your thesis. Ignore grammar mistakes and such when revising. You don’t want to spend all your time polishing something you may just delete or rewrite.

Editing Editing involves local and surface changes. Make changes to single sentences, transition statements, and documentation first. Proofread, or correct grammar, last. Think in terms of size ▫Paragraph first ▫Sentences second ▫Specific language choices third ▫Punctuation, spelling, capitalization, etc. last

Collaborate It’s a good idea during the revision stage to get someone else to look over your writing. Use a tutor in the Writing Center. Have a peer help you. Have a parent help you. Have your teacher help you.

Participation Freewrite: Write for 10 minutes, without pausing, about your ideas for the “Hallelujah” essay. Mindmap: Try and arrange your ideas in order by drawing a mindmap.

What to do for next time: Read “Paraphrase ” (37-50) in W&RAtC. Full summary/response over “Paraphrase” due in folder. MAKE SURE YOU HAVE THE 3 QUESTIONS READY FOR CLASS DISCUSSION NEXT TIME.
