Writing Process
Writing as Process vs. Writing as Product
Processes = the ways

we write
Products = the things we write
Processes lead to Products

Слайд 4

Drafts
“Draft” = a completed version of a project
Typically, subsequent “drafts” of

written assignments do not add anything major to each new version
Each draft represents efforts at refining an already completed project, NOT adding new sections of material

Слайд 5

Prewriting / Invention
Prewriting / Invention = all the activities a writer

does before writing any draft of a written assignment
These activities could include:
Brainstorming
Research
Outlining
Summarizing main ideas
Making a diagram or other schematic.

Слайд 6

Thesis Statement
Thesis Statement = The main idea or main point of

a written assignment.
It is specific
It often appears at the end of the first paragraph of a paper
It can be modified to reflect what actually ended up being discussed in the paper

Слайд 7

Introductions
“Introduction” = the broad beginning of a written assignment
It should answer

these questions:
What is this paper about?
Why am I reading it?
What do you want me to do?
It should set the context for the paper
It should state why the main idea is important
A thesis statement is typically placed at the end of an introduction

Слайд 8

Body Paragraphs
“Body Paragraph” = paragraph between the Introduction and the Conclusion
Each

Body Paragraph typically follows the pattern here

Слайд 9

Transitions
“Transition” = words or phrases that connect ideas in one paragraph

with ideas in the next
Effective transitions use key phrases from a previous paragraph in the next paragraph
Some common transitional devices:
furthermore, in addition, moreover
on the contrary, in contrast, meanwhile
however, nevertheless

Слайд 10

Conclusions
“Conclusion” = the end parts written assignments that wrap up what

authors have been discussing in their papers
Conclusions could
Restate the topic and its importance
Restate the thesis statement
Resolve opposing viewpoints
Include a call for action
Overview future research possibilities

Слайд 11

Revision and Proofreading
“Revision” = any beneficial change to a paper from

one draft to another
Generally, “revision” means larger changes with structure or content
“Proofreading” = means only revising to correct spelling or grammatical errors
