  3. Good Writing Includes • Writing a good description is a special skill. You can make your reader see, smell, hear of feel just as you do.

  5. PREWRITE explained Prewriting is sometimes called brainstorming. You think about what and why you are writing. You choose a purpose and an audience.

  9. DRAFTING explained • Add words/text to match your brainstorming. • In the drafting step, writers put their ideas on paper. They write words, ideas, and sentences. • There are often many mistakes in this step of the writing process. But that’s OK! We work one day at a time. • A draft is not suppose to be perfect. • You just want to get all of your ideas on paper. You can fix your mistakes later (on Thursday: Editing).

  10. Tuesday: DRAFTING • My piece has a beginning, middle and end. • I included interesting ideas. • I included important details. • Other: ______________________

  11. By Morgan REVISE explained In the revising step, you “see” your draft again. Read your work to be sure it makes sense. You may find new ways to arrange your ideas. You can move ideas around. You can remove or add more details to make the writing clearer. You can often hear problems when you read your writing aloud or to a peer. Ask someone else to read your work and give at least three kind suggestions for improvement.
