 The Writing Process is used whenever someone is composing a longer written work. It traditionally consists of the following 5 steps:  Pre-writing  Drafting  Revision  Editing  Publication

 Pre-writing is the act of getting thoughts and ideas out of your head and onto paper. Here are some common ways to complete the Pre- Writing step of the Writing Process:  Listing  Concept/Bubble Mapping  Outlining  Free-writing (We will talk about this in detail later).

 Sample new start sunny warm new life SPRING flowers baby animals

 Drafting occurs when you take the ideas you formulated in the Pre-Writing phase and organize them into a rough draft.

 Revision takes place following the writing of the first draft.  Contrary to popular belief, revision is NOT looking for mistakes. When you revise your paper, (or someone else’s for that matter), you are looking for:  Organization  Logic  Word choice  Clarity  Cohesion (unity of ideas)

1. Read the entire essay once without stopping. 2. Re-read the essay, checking the TS and CS to make sure they are strong and relate to one another. 3. Re-read the CD, DQ, and CM’s to make sure they collectively prove the point you want to make in that paragraph. 4. As you are reading, think about the following questions. 1.What is the thesis? Is it clear? 2.What is good about the essay? 3.What do you think needs work? 5. Answer the questions on the Peer Revision form.

 Editing is the act of looking for errors or mistakes. For our purposes, when you edit your paper, (or someone else’s), you will be checking for spelling, grammar, and punctuation mistakes.

1. Familiarize yourself with the editing symbols. 2. Exchange papers with your partner. 3. Read the entire essay 1 time without stopping. 4. Re-read the essay, checking for spelling/grammar mistakes. 5. Re-read the essay checking for punctuation errors. (Refer to editing symbols). 6. As you read, think about the following questions: 1. What needs work? 2. What is good about the essay? 3. What grade do you think the essay deserves? 7. Answer the questions on the Peer Editing form.

 Publication takes place when you share your final draft with others. The publication stage of the Writing-Process is simple: type your paper with as few errors as possible. In this class, you will be using MLA format. MLA Format Basics 1” margins on all sides of paper 12 pt font, Times New Roman Everything is double-spaced MLA In-text citation Heading is at the top left corner of the paper and includes: name, teacher, class, and due date Works cited page (if required)
