Why use the writing process
Writing involves careful thinking, which means you will make changes as you write. Even professional don't just write their thoughts and call it finished work of art. They use a process. For example, some writers keep going back to the revising stage many times, while others feel they can do the revision in just one step. It is up to each writer to develop the style that works best to produce the best results.
Introduction
Most genres should have a strong introduction that immediately grabs the readers attention and includes the thesis. Even stories and poems need a "hook" to grab interest.
Conclusion
The conclusion typically restates the thesis and summarizes the most important concepts of a paper.
Graphic Organizer
A graphic organizer can help narrow a topic that's too broad. For example, you might choose "animals" as a topic. You might make your topics smaller and smaller until you narrow the topic to "the habitat of emperor penguins."
