The writing process


Pre-writing/Planning Drafting Revision Editing/Proofreading Publishing/Presenting


It is important to plan carefully before you write. Writing is a process, you have to do it one step at a time and each step builds on what you did before. Here is the whole writing process. Go through it carefully to remind yourself whenever you write.


Brainstorm your ideas


• List your ideas • Make a word bank of interesting words to use • Think of your characters, the plot and the setting


Plan your writing


• Make a mind map • Who is it written for? (audience) • What is its purpose? (story, instructions, etc.) • What style will it be written in? (formal or informal language, etc.)


• How will it be laid out? (as a letter, in paragraphs, in verses, etc.)


Write the first draft


Consider your writing techniques • Will you use facts and or your own ideas? • Will your writing follow a particular pattern? Story, news article, instructions?


• Will you use literal or figurative language? How? • Will you use humour? How?
