Coming up with a topic and gathering resources.

In my first grade classroom, I am very aware of this stage. Either opinion, informational or how-to writing- each student needs to always start with this step to begin the process of writing and to continue onto future steps.

Committing initial, rough ideas to paper or digital form.

My lead teacher is very fond of drafting- we give each of our student a draft worksheet that they make all their changes and new ideas on. We complete each piece of the worksheet step by step (introduction, 3 main details, conclusion).

Getting feedback on the draft from the reader or listener.

Once the student has completed the draft worksheet they either see me or my lead teacher to check for grammar and sentence structure. We go over what should or shouldn't go there together and once agreed upon- they return to their desks.

Reflecting on the feedback and implementing changes for clarity, interest, and authenticity.

Like said in the previous step/example- they then take back the changes and review them before the next step, editing.

Cleaning up the writing for the conventions: spelling, capitalization, punctuation, grammar, and usage, and paragraphing.

Once they receive the changes that need to be implemented they then begin to edit the paper.

Wrapping up the task that sometimes means creating a final copy to go public.

Once students have made official changes on their draft worksheet- they then transfer their draft over to their finalized paper.

I can think on many occasions coming up with a topic for a paper that I needed to write. To me, this is the hardest step in the writing process. Only because, there are many topics you can choose from, its all about picking the right one.

Drafting, to me, is the best step because you have many opportunities to edit and go back. Change what needs changing to better the paper.

This is the most stressful step in the process! I have always HATED when peers or even my family read my work. Most of the time, I only review my papers twice and then just submit so I am not lingering on an issue or an area where I am not sure of. I just go for it.

Once Id receive the feedback- I would make the appropriate changes.

I can only do so much editing. Too much, drives me crazy and I think I am editing and now it doesn't make sense anymore!

When its all said and done- I can finally relax!
