Why the Writing Process is Important : 

Why the Writing Process is Important Prewriting is as important as the actual paper itself. It’s established to make sure that each student hands in the best paper they can. The five steps of prewriting help to guarantee that the paper is error free and as professional as it can be. The video below is a quick introduction to the writing process. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kLq K_2q0TN0&feature=related

The Five Stages of Writing : 

The Five Stages of Writing Prewriting- This step is used to quickly write down your thoughts and ideas that you want to make in your paper. Drafting- In this step of writing one would begin to write the actual paper with the main ideas established in step one as well as details to support them. Revising-In the revising step students should make correction, have other proof read, and ask the teacher to make corrections if at all possible. Editing- This is one of the last steps in writing. Here we go back and edit of fix our previous mistakes and make any last changes we may need. Publishing- Publishing is the last step in the writing process. Here we may publish the story. It may be published for millions to read, for a classroom, or just for your parents or your enjoyment.

Prewriting : 

Prewriting This is where the thinking begins! In this step students quickly write down main ideas, points to be made, details they know or any other idea they would like to include in the paper, essay or book. Students may also use different types of representations to pre-write. These may include concept maps, clustering, Venn diagrams or story maps. Here is where students begin to think about who they are writing to and what exactly they want their point to be. Are they writing for or against a topic, writing a letter, a school essay or a short story.

Prewriting examples : 

Prewriting examples The first picture to the left is of a concept map. In the middle is the main idea and surrounding it are details. Above is a picture of a table a student used to help sort out the main ideas before writing. These are both great examples of ways to prewrite.

The Key to Drafting : 

The Key to Drafting The key to drafting is just as simple as its name: Draft It’s a quickly written rough draft of your paper or what ever it is that you are writing. The main focus of drafting is making sure that everything is in order and makes sense the way it will be read. You also need to focus on developing your thoughts and details where ever needed.

Revising : 

Revising This is one of the most important steps out of the five. After we are done drafting we must make sure to go back and reread what we have written. This steps allows us to focus on the fluency of our paper. It is important to revise any errors we see or encounter while reading and take out any unnecessary words. This is your chance to add or take out an unnecessary parts, make sure it is easy to follow and comprehend, ask yourself is it written at my best level, and to make sure no words are repetitive. After this is done it is time for peer editing, or handing it in to be edited by your teacher.

Editing : 

Editing Editing is much like revising in the sense that you are making changes in structure, punctuation, and word choice. Whomever is editing your paper may make marks such as those on the right. These are called editing marks, they let the writer know what they need to fix and any error they have made.

Publishing : 

Publishing To be ready to publish your story or paper you must always go over revisions and reread everything more than once. You should also ask yourself questions to make sure have done everything needed. Some examples are: Did I include a title or resource page if required? Did I fix all grammatical or punctuation mistakes that were noted? Is the spacing correct and neat? There should be no mistakes! After all of this is done you are ready to hand in or publish your work.
