    Introduction
    What is the writing process ?
    Writing an essay takes time. That’s why writing is often
    referred to as a process. In other words, a writer goes
    through several steps before he or she has a complete essay
    ready to turn in for a grade. This lesson talk about those
    The steps of the writing process:
     Pre-Writing
     Organizing
     Drafting
     Revising and Editing
     Handing in a Final Copy
    Pre-Writing
    Step One
    Pre-writing literally means “before writing.” Before you
    actually begin writing your essay, you will need to do the
    following things:

     choose a topic to write on

     brainstorm or generate ideas for


    your topic

     focus in on central ideas


    Organizing
    Step Two
    Making an outline can help you organize what you want to
    write. An outline is a rough plan for your essay and can help
    make the process of writing much easier.

    - supporting
    idea
    III. Conclusion
    Drafting
    Step Three
    After getting ideas and making an outline of your essay,
    it is time to start writing the essay. When you begin writing
    your rough draft, try to remember the following guidelines:

     Don’t worry about writing the “perfect”


    paper
    the first time.
     Your goal in writing a rough draft is to
    develop
    and support the ideas listed in your outline.
     Don’t focus on spelling and grammar as you
    write your rough draft. You can check this
    later
    in the writing process.
    Revising and Editing
    Step Four
    After you write your first draft, go back over it and look for
    ways to improve your essay in content and organization.
    This step is called revision. After you revise for content
    and organization, begin editing your draft for mistakes in
    English conventions like spelling, grammar, punctuation, and
    sentence structure errors.
    Revision Editing
    Conventions:
    Spelling,
    Content and
    Grammar,
    Organization
    Punctuation,
    etc.
