Pg.4 Ex 3

Pre Writing

Step one: Choose a topic 
Step two: gather ideas about that topic that you chose
Step three: organise and think about what ideas you want to use and where. So which one you will talk about first, and the next, and the next, etc.

Drafting

Step four: Write the paragraphs and essay from start to finish while using your notes as a guidance for ideas and organisation.

Reviewing and Revising

Step five: Review Structure and Content. Check what you have written and perhaps give it to a classmate for them to check it so they can give their opinion about it as it might help improve your piece of writing. 

Rewriting

Step six: Revise structure and content. Improve your structure and content from step five and you may need to make changes to it such as add more detail and perhaps change explanations. Steps five and six can be called 'editing'. 
proofread. Read text again and go over spelling, grammar and think about the words you have chosen to use.
Make final corrections. Check that the errors are correct in steps five and six and if you need to make other changes, make them. Now your text is finished. 

• Steps five and six can be repeated many times
