Narrative/Persuasive Pre-Writing to Writing Process
Follow this process when writing your narrative or persuasive assignments. Prewriting: Plan your writing by thinking about the topic and your purpose. Are you explaining or arguing a point of view? A narrative piece requires you to describe in order. Persuasive writing requires you to first state your point of view, then tell why you think it is correct and present facts to support your opinion. 1. Identifying – Choose the main elements you wish to write about. There should not be more than three. 2. Drafting – Jot your ideas down in rough form. 3. Revising – Change and improve the rough draft. Get rid of unnecessary parts. Add important material based on your writing goal – to explain or defend. 4. Proofreading – Correct any errors in spelling, punctuation, and clarity. Care should be taken to make the writing communicate clearly.
5.
Publishing – After final editing,
finish the writing and make it available for others to read. Edit
your piece one more time before you rewrite (publish it) for the audience
to read. |
