BLOG # 3 WRITING PROCESS

BLOG # 3

Writing Process:

The writing process consists of five key features:

1. It begins wit the pre-writing stage. This is the stage where students brain storm their ideas, thus pick various topics they want to write about. They can use graphic organizers to help with this process. This is the free writing stage.

2. The second stage is the drafting stage also known as the rough draft stage. This is the stage where students start writing about their ideas. This stage is all about planning. The students do not worry about grammatical errors, they just write and write. It can be sloppy, in a journal, blog or on plain paper.

3. The third stage is the revising stage. This is the stage where students will re read their writings and reflect. They can change the content, ideas, add or delete sentences, or change word choice. A good way to help with process is to have others read it. This can be done in a writer's workshop, writing conference, with partners or in a group of three.

4. The fourth stage is the editing stage. This is the stage students will proofread, and check for mechanical errors. It is important to have at least three other people look over the writing. Students will make all necessary corrections before publishing it.

5. The final stage is the publishing stage. This is the finish product. You can display it on walls, desks, halls,thus give it meaning>>>>>


"If I won the lottery", first of all I would cry, scream, and probably faint. Then after I wake up, I would pinch myself just to make sure I wasn't dreaming. And if it was true, then I would begin by thanking God for giving me instant wealth. I would immediately go pay off my home mortgage, invest in my children education, share some with family and friends, and of course splurge a little.


And yes I probably have to prepare myself for those lost relatives that will magically start appearing. And yes "If I won the lotto I would still pursue my education, because instant wealth can easily become instant poverty if one becomes too consume in money. I personally believe that money probably would bring me some joy, but not necessarily a purpose or true happiness. No amount of money can bring me the happiness my children and husband bring me. Finally, I think "If I won the lotto, I probably would give most of it away like my husband always says"

  1. Hi Lorena,
    Like your blog, my husband and I always talk about if this would really happen, I rather be poor then to loose time, family and faith.
    Nice!

  2. Lorena, winning the lotto would be nice; it would definately help toward paying off expenses and being set for the future. However, in a realistic world think about all the people that would be hoovering around you!!!
