UFS 211 - ACADEMIC READING AND WRITING

INTRODUCTION OF A PARAGRAPH

(In your own words, describe the stages of 'writing process'. Provide example of the topic sentences, supporting sentences & concluding sentences)


      Writing is very time consuming activity, because one needs to think while writing and before writing. The sequence of steps from which the writer has to go through while making an effective document is known as the writing process.Based on what I have found, The expert writers always go through the writing process for creating a unique and creative article where as the beginners used to skip many of the process, but is for sure that the writer can learn the process by practicing the steps. In my Blog I’m going to explain what each stage of the writing process involves, For example, planning, drafting, revising,editing,and publishing.The Planning stage is about some pieces of writing will require more planning than others. Typically, longer pieces and academic papers need a lot of thought at this stage.First, decide which ideas you’ll use. During your free writing and brainstorming, you’ll have come up with lots of thoughts. Some belong in this piece of writing: others can be kept for another time.The Drafting Stage is about writing ideas on a piece of paper without major attention to punctuation, grammar, or neatness. This particular stage is for us to focus on our ideas and get them on a paper without any fear of making mistakes in punctuation, grammar, or paragraph structure also to ask suggestions from others for any ideas then jot them down for future reference.The Revising stage is about the writers should revise the document because to find out the mistakes it is necessary for the writers to start with the fresh mind. It is better to hire the review to revise the document because they can easily find the mistakes honestly, the reviewer could be the instructor of the student, and friends.The editing stage is distinct from revision, and needs to be done after revising. Editing involves the close-up view of individual sentences and words. It needs to be done after you’ve made revisions on a big scale: or else you could agonize over a perfect sentence, only to end up cutting that whole paragraph from your piece.The final step of the writing process is the publishing stage. This means different things depending on the piece you’re working on.
