3 What is the writing process?

4 magic! Writing is not

5 Stages of Writing Prewriting Drafting Revising Editing

6 Prewriting Prewriting is the process of coming up with ideas for your essay. This is not formal, polished writing. There are many prewriting techniques, but we will be discussing: Brainstorming Freewriting Clustering Outlining

7 Brainstorming Just think!

8 Freewriting Just write!

9 Clustering A way of narrowing your thoughts by connecting your ideas
Great techniques for visual learners

11 Try it!

12 Topics to choose from Who knows me best? What do I worry about?
Something this school really needs is . . . Why are soap operas so popular? An unforgettable dream My worst vacation My first concert

13 Outlining Outlining comes after you already have the ideas for your paper. It is a way of laying out your thoughts before you begin writing. Use bullet points to write down each concept you want to mention in the order you want to mention them. For more detail, see the Writing Center’s handout on outlining.

14 Drafting Starring Tat and Rodell!
The draft is the first attempt to organize information. Typically called a rough draft for a reason. YOU WILL MAKE MISTAKES! Your essay structure does not need to be perfect. Starring Tat and Rodell!

15 Try it! (again!)

16 Revising Reworking your essay so that the ideas are expressed in the best way possible. Revising is not the editing stage. Global Revision Local Revision Content Grammar, spelling, etc. Structure Thesis Strong supporting points

17 Thesis Statements Workshop
Wednesday, January 19th 12:30p.m. – 1:30p.m. Starring Tat & Rodell!

18 Editing Editing is eliminating punctuation, grammar, and spelling mistakes. Should be saved for the end of the writing process. SpellCheck can be a false friend!

19 Checklist for Editing Have you read your work aloud to listen for problems? Did you check every possible misspelling in a dictionary? Have you avoided run-ons? Are you using verbs, pronouns, and modifiers correctly? Have you used your punctuation correctly? Are your capital letters correct?

20 How did we do?
