Process writing

● Process writing is a way of breaking down the task of writing into its smaller
component parts.
● The steps in process writing can be divided into two major phases: the prewriting
phase and the writing phase
● Prewriting is needed to organize, sequence, and elaborate on ideas prior to writing.
The writing phase turns this organization of ideas into a composition.

The Prewriting Phase

➔ The prewriting phase is essential to helping students generate and organize their
thoughts prior to writing.

➔ It establishes the roadmap of the writing piece, allowing them to see where they are
going with their ideas and how they will get there.
➔ Writing without working through the steps of the prewriting phase is like sending a
student to an unknown destination without a map or directions.
➔ They will most likely veer off course, perhaps go in circles, and get lost.

There are two steps in the prewriting phase:

● Select a topic and brainstorm by jotting down all ideas on the topic as they come to
mind.
● Organize the ideas by putting them into categories of main ideas and corresponding
details. This organization can take various forms, depending on your student’s style or
preference (outline, notes, graphic organizer, semantic map).

The Writing Phase

● Once the prewriting phase has been completed and a method for organizing ideas is
ready, the most difficult part of the process is over.
● The steps in the writing phase are:

1. Write the rough draft, adhering to the organization created in the prewriting phase
and turning each note into a sentence, adding transitional words or phrases to connect
ideas, etc.
● Proofread and edit the rough draft for both content and mechanics.

● Write a second draft (and possibly more) including all corrections and changes made.

For example:

complete the following paragraph.
