The writing process
Brainstorming
Brainstorming is a great when you need to come up with your topic or anything else like what you want to put in your paragraph. Also you can use this outside of school if you and a friend want to do something and don't know what. It also it can help you organize.
Prewriting
This part is really just getting your thoughts together from your brainstorming.Also you sort of putting it together like i want this to be close to the end because it's cool.You also want to remembered that this may seem like it does not help but your friends and teacher could probably guess that you skip this; as well as any other one.
Compose
Revise
You may think that prewriting is like fixing sentences and word and all that good stuff. But actually its fixing ... punctuation YA you might think. It is alright if you fix a few thing beside punctuation but don't get in over your head.
Edit
Now we get to work with the fun stuff not that this wasn't fun in the first place right but now we can fix the wording ,sentences, and anything else. And remember to also make sure your sentences flow and ask a few friends if they like it BUT trust worthy friends I would ask my parents; not friends there learning to they might not know it either .
Publish
Now you can turn in your paper in with confident and a smile!
