  2. THE FORMS OF WRITING • Narrative Writing • Expository Writing • Persuasive Writing • Response to Literature • Creative Writing • Research Writing • Writing Across the Curriculum

  3. THE STEPS IN THE WRITING PROCESS

  4. PREWRITING • The first step in the writing process involves selecting a specific topic, gathering details about it, and organizing those details into a writing plan.

  5. WRITING • During this step, the writer completes the first draft using the prewriting plan as a guide. • This draft is a writer’s first chance to get everything on paper.

  6. REVISING • During revising, the writer first reviews the draft for five key traits: • Ideas • Organization • Voice • Word choice • And sentence fluency. • After deciding what changes to make, the writer deletes, moves, adds to, and rewrites parts of the text.

  7. EDITING • Then the writer edits the revised draft for the conventions of punctuation, capitalization, spelling, and grammar. • A writer should also proofread the final copy before sharing it.

  8. PUBLISHING • This is the final step in the writing process. • Publishing is the writer’s opportunity to share his or her work with others.

  9. THE PROCESS IN ACTION

  10. PRE-WRITING • SELECT A TOPIC • Search for topics that meet the requirements of the assignment. • Select a specific topic that appeals to you. • With the purpose of the assignment in mind, find one point to emphasize about the topic – either an interesting part or your personal feeling about it. This will be the focus, or thesis, of your writing.

  11. Decide which details to include in your writing. • Organize your details into a writing plan, perhaps using an outline or a chart.

  12. WRITING • DEVELOP THE FIRST DRAFT • When writing the first draft, concentrate on getting your ideas on paper. Don’t try to produce a perfect piece of writing. • Use the details you collected and your prewriting plan as a guide, but feel free to add new ideas and details as you go along. • Make sure your writing has a beginning, a middle, and an ending.

  13. REVISING • IMPROVE YOUR WRITING • Set aside your first draft for a while so you can return to it with a fresh perspective. • Read your first draft slowly and critically.

  14. Use these questions as a revising guide: • Is my topic interesting for the reader? • Does the beginning catch the reader’s attention? • Are the ideas in order and easy to understand? • Have I included enough details to support my central idea? • Does the ending leave the readers with something to think about? • Do I sound interested in, and knowledgeable about, the topic?

  15. Are the nouns specific and the verbs active? • Are the modifiers (adjectives and adverbs) clear and descriptive? • Does the whole piece read smoothly? • Ask at least one other person to review your writing and give suggestions. • Make as many changes as necessary to improve your writing.

  16. Editing • Check for conventions: • Check for errors in punctuation, capitalization, spelling, and grammar. • Have at least one other person check your writing for errors. • Prepare a neat final copy. • Proofread the final copy before publishing it.

  17. Publishing • Share your writing. • Share your writing with friends, classmates, and family. • Consider submitting your writing to a newspaper or other publication. • Also consider including the writing in your portfolio.
