THE STEPS
OF THE
WRITING PROCESS |
| |
|
|
1. Choose a SUBJECT to
write about and think of DETAILS about the subject or content of your writing.
Examples of SUBJECTS could be:
2. Make sure your subject meets
the requirements for your assignment.
3. Make a PLAN on how to
use your ideas such as a story map, word web, venn diagram, brainstorm list, outline, etc.

|
|
1. Start your First Draft
2. Don't worry about your mistakes in format, paragraphs
or spelling. Write down all of your ideas on paper or on your computer. Add new ideas throughout
your writing as you develop your story.
3. Don't forget to include a beginning, a middle and
an ending. |

|
1. Read your first draft. Reading it out loud to yourself
is a good way to see if it makes sense. Ask someone else to read it too.
2. After reviewing your writing, change any parts that do
not make sense or are missing words. Make sure to correct the parts that are out of order and put them in the proper
sequence.
3. Make changes to your writing by re-reading,
reordering, adding or deleting parts which need improvement. |
|
|
1. Check your writing for errors in format, spelling, grammar
and punctuation.
2. Have someone else, a friend, parent or teacher check
your writing for errors.
3. Prepare a "polished" final copy for publication.
4. Check the final copy for any additional errors.
This last final check is called proofreading.
5. Share your work with others.
