Tips for writings: PROCESS FOR SUCCESSFUL WRITING

1. BRAINSTORMING
1. Make sure that you have understood the topic. Then very quickly write down all the ideas that you can think of.
2. PLANNING
1. Group similar ideas together.
2. Cross out any irrelevant ideas.
3. Give each group a name.
4. Number the groups in a logical order.
3. FAST WRITING
1. Quickly write down your points for each of the main ideas. If you can't think of a word in English, write it in your own language. Don't write complete sentences and don't worry about spelling. At this stage, your ideas are more important!
4. DRAFTING
1. Now you are ready to begin writing, using your plan from Step 2.
2. Write in pencil. Leave wide margins for notes. Leave space between lines for additions and corrections.
3. Write quickly. Don't worry about neatness or accuracy.
5. IMPROVING
1. When you have finished writing the first draft, you will almost certainly need to improve it. Read your paragraph/essay again and clearly mark the things that you need to improve.
6. GIVING FEEDBACK
1. Read again and make suggestions. Ask for another opinion if neccesary.
7. PRESENTING
1. When you are satisfied with your work, present it in a neat, attractive manner. Be sure to include all your corrections and your paragraphs clearly indicated.
