They are: Introduction What is the writing process ? • Pre-Writing • Organizing • Drafting • Revising and Editing • Handing in a Final Copy • Publishing

  5. Pre-writing literally means, “before writing.” Before you actually begin writing your essay, you will need to do the following things: Pre-Writing Step One • choose a topic to write on • brainstorm or generate ideas for your topic • focus in on central ideas

  6. Step 1: PreWriting Find your Inspiration! Determine your most useful form to PreWrite (lists, mapping, webbing, graphic organizers, etc.)

  8. After getting ideas and making an outline of your essay, it is time to start writing the essay. When you begin writing your rough draft, try to remember the following guidelines. Drafting Step Three • Don’t worry about writing the ‘perfect’ paper the first time. • Your goal in writing a rough draft is to develop and support the ideas listed in your outline. • Don’t focus on spelling and grammar as you write your rough draft.
