  7. Step 4 • Think about why you put the songs in the order you did. Thinking about each song on the playlist, do you notice a theme? Is there a connecting threador does your playlist seem random or unconnected? Explain. • Now, explain the order of your playlist. You were asked earlier to put your songs in a purposeful listening order, now explain why your ordered the songs the way you did. • Share your playlist with a friend and get feedback about your song choices and the playlist order.

  12. The Writing Process

  13. Writing is a Journey Writing is a journey – there is a beginning, a middle, and an end. It is very important not to skip or rush any step of the process.

  14. 8 Steps of the Writing Process 1. Planning 2. Prewriting 3. Initial Drafting 4. Continued Drafting 5. Cooling Off 6. Revising 7. Editing 8. Publishing

  15. Step 1 – Planning • Identify your purpose • Identify your topic • Identify your format • Personal Letter • Business Letter • Narrative Essay • Short Story • Research Paper • Identify your audience

  16. Step 2 - Prewriting *Think of prewriting as: • A collection of ideas • Looking for inspiration • Get the writing juices flowing • Narrowing your topic • Thinking about and writing down ideas • Ideas about writing can come from anywhere and anything

  17. Step 3 – Initial Drafting • At this step you are: • Beginning to write • Organizing ideas • Elaborating on your topic

  18. Step 4 – Continued Drafting • At the continued drafting stage, you are making connections between paragraphs. • Develop clear, logical transitions from one idea to the next. • Add detail for your reader • Continue to develop ideas, always with your reader in mind.

  19. Step 5 – Cooling Off • Step away from your writing piece for at least several days • When you come back to your writing, you will read your work as a “reader” not the “writer”

  20. Step 6 - Revising • Revising / Rewriting / Changing • This is the longest part of the journey. • Now you are getting the words right • Making the meaning clear • Crafting better sentences • Adding detail and imagery where necessary

  21. Step 7 - Editing • Editing / Checking / Correcting • This is the technical step of the writing process: • Fix spelling errors • Fix punctuation errors • Let others read and make suggestions

  22. Step 8 - Publishing • You made it; you’re almost finished! • Publishing: to have one’s written work made available for public view • You should ALWAYS conduct one final proofread before publishing your work. • My suggestion is to always read your work ALOUD before handing it in for grading. • You will catch “unseen” errors when you read your writing aloud – I promise it works!

  23. Quick Review • Writing is a journey, a process • There are 8 steps in the writing process: • Planning: what, why, who • Prewriting: brainstorming ideas • Drafting: ideas taking form • Continued Drafting: connecting ideas, detail, transitions • Cooling Off: come back to writing with fresh eyes • Revising: checking for clarity, crafting better sentences • Editing: spelling, punctuation, feedback • Publishing: making your writing available to the public
