Study Notes
Writing is Everywhere
- Writing is an integral part of our daily lives, appearing in various forms such as books, whiteboards, screens, and street signs.
- We engage in writing activities regularly, such as signing our names on tests, making lists, and sending text messages to friends.
The Writing Process
- The writing process is a set of steps that help writers plan, organize, and complete writing assignments.
- The five essential steps in the writing process are:
- Prewriting: determining what to include in the writing, which can be done through listing, outlining, or drawing and labeling pictures.
- Drafting: putting ideas into the required form, whether it's a story, report, or paragraph.
- Revising: reviewing the written work to ensure completeness, sense, and accuracy.
- Editing: correcting mistakes in spelling, grammar, punctuation, and capitalization.
- Publishing: preparing a final copy for others to read.
Editing Skills
- Editing involves checking for errors in:
- Spelling (e.g., "scool" instead of "school")
- Capitalization (e.g., not capitalizing the first word in a sentence)
- Grammar (e.g., incorrect verb tense)
- Punctuation (e.g., missing or incorrect use of periods)
