Today The writing process (continued)

The Writing Process Obviously, you should not simply start writing a paper as soon as you have a topic. “Good” writing is not accomplished in one step, either. Writing is a continuous process. Source: www.clickbuyhelp.org

The Writing Process The first thing to consider for any piece of writing (academic, business-related, creative…) is, the audience. Audience Analysis: - Who is going to read this? - How much do they know about the topic? - What do they need to know through this writing? - What is the reader’s purpose for reading this?

The Writing Process Four Steps: 1. Pre-writing a. Choosing & narrowing a topic b. Generating ideas 2. Planning (outlining) a. Organize your ideas b. Create a topic sentence (or thesis statement) c. Make an outline 3. Writing 4. Polishing a. Revising b. Editing
