The Writing Process
Prewrite- organize your ideas and notes using a T-table. You can also choose your topic sentence with the 4 core topic sentences.
Compose- when you compose it means you write your rough draft. Without worrying about conventions, you can fix them later. This must also be done in complete sentences and not bullet points.
Evaluate- you can use an evaluation sheet to make sure you have good word choice, sentence fluency, and good conventions. Using this evaluation sheet will help your writing flow smoothly.
Revise- revising is when you make changes in your writing like changing words, moving sentences, taking things out, etc;.
Edit- to edit, fix things like end punctuation and capitalization.
Publish- this is when you share your writing with other people.
