The Writing Process
Generating Ideas
First, make a decision: What is my topic? Second, limit the topic: What about the topic?
Brainstorming "seeing " your ideas on paper
ListingClustering/Mind mapping
Discussing with a partner "hearing" your ideas and others' viewpoints
Form a "working" thesis statement
It should be specific enough to deal with in a short essay.
Too broad:
Better:
| Hunting is very dangerous. (general)
(in what way?)Irresponsible hunting should be outlawed.(define)
(give reasons)
|
Review ideas (from idea generation phase)
Select relevant ones, add new ones.
Organize ideas
Outline. Arrange topic sentences to support thesis statement and details,examples, etc. to support topic sentences.
Rough draft
Thesis
statement and body paragraphs mainly. Also, think of a way to focus
the reader's attention on your thesis statement (introduction) and leave
a lasting impression (conclusion).
Write the essay
"Rethinking" usually produces better results than merely copying the rough draft, but it is more challenging.
Revise, revise, revise !
