  1. Writing Process & Product

  2. Why Process and Product? • Process and product writing issues balanced writing. • Process writing provokes thoughtful writing. • Product writing focuses on the final draft and what small corrections can be made.

  3. Pre-writing • What is pre-writing? • When competing in a sport an athlete must warm-up and stretch prior to competition in order to perform at their highest potential. Much like warming up for an athlete, a writer (and we are all writers) must stretch their mind, get some ideas flowing and ready for use.

  4. Pre-writing Ways to Pre-write: • REMEMBER: There is no one way to pre-write. • Observations in real life • Journal entries • Idea-Web • Create an outline

  5. Rough Draft • How are you going to start your paper off? • How can you best grab your readers attention to hook them into the rest of your paper?

  6. Rough Draft • What is going in the middle of your paper? • How are you going to organize your information? • How are you going to organize information inside your paragraphs?

  7. Rough Draft • Summarize your information. • Restate your thesis in different words. • Give projections for the future. • Give some solutions.

  8. Revise • This is where you go Global! • Look only at information that affects the whole text: • Organization • Is there one thread that ties the whole paper together? • Are there any parts that seem unclear or need more information? • Is your voice coming through? • Have others read your paper!

  9. Edit • This is where we deal with the local issues of your paper. • Look at things within the text that are smaller (or local) issues: • Grammar • Transitions • Spelling • Punctuation

  10. Publish • This is the last step. • Make sure everything looks clean. • Margins • Grammar • Last minute touch-ups • If you are publishing, make sure to send it in the correct format. • Way to go! You just completed your paper!

  11. Celebrate because you are published!
