The writing process is a long and detailed process, there are five stages of writing and each stage is Made up of it’s own components. All of these components and stages work together and when done right they all come together to form a well written piece, weather it is an essay or a research paper the writing process is used for all types of writing.
During the last eight weeks of this class i have learned about how the writing process works and how to use it to improve my writing. This process has also shown me that being critiqued by a peer,teacher, or family member is very beneficial in improving your writing because most of the things that we miss from being to familiar with our own writing others catch because they have not seen or

(MindEdge, Module One, English Composition One) The rewriting process improves a students writing because it makes you question the things that you thought you had correct and make sure that you have everything in the order they belong, making sure that there are minimal errors with your writing however in this stage it isn 't time to worry about spelling, grammar, mechanical, usage or punctuation errors that comes later in the writing process.
The fourth stage of the writing process is proofreading this is where you go line by line to edit each word,sentance, and punctuation mark. In this stage you will also want to check for any grammatical, mechanical, punctual, spelling, and usage error it is also good to have a second pair of eyes for this stage from a peer, co-worker, or family member so that if there are any errors they can catch them. This helps students because getting critique from someone else is very beneficial because you can miss small errors from focusing on your writing for so
This assignment is a testament of growth and contributed to my outlook on strategies towards improving my writing through the importance of understanding how crucial, each component of the writing process is and how in depth you should take each process. Lastly, this reflection advocated how editing is the principal task of every good writer. “To write is human, to edit is divine,” Stephen
The first essay given in this course was about our whole composing process. This essay was hard to write about and I remember having several grammar mistakes. Sitting down and writing my process on paper,
Harris proceeds to elaborate on the process of revision, focusing on the importance of five basic tasks - addition, deletion, reworking, reformatting, and moving (445). Using an English student’s essay as an example, he explains the various functions of revision through analyzing several drafts of the essay over time. This visualization of the essay’s changes helps the reader to create an effective “map” of the revision process and to understand the benefits of the revisions made
There are various ways writers can evaluate their techniques applied in writing. The genre of writing about writing can be approached in various ways – from a process paper to sharing personal experience. The elements that go into this specific genre include answers to the five most important questions who, what, where, and why they write. Anne Lamott, Junot Diaz, Kent Haruf, and Susan Sontag discuss these ideas in their individual investigations. These authors create different experiences for the reader, but these same themes emerge: fears of failing, personal feelings toward writing, and most importantly personal insight on the importance of writing and what works and does not work in their writing procedures.
While always worthwhile, the effectiveness of revision can easily be muted by a misunderstanding of what revising entails. Harris states that there are three distinct stages present in writing: drafting, revising, and editing. Out of the
Writing is a process I’ve grown to despise. Ever since grade school, I’ve had problems trying to express my ideas on paper. My writing process involves thinking about what’s being asked and trying to reflect my thoughts the best way I can on paper, but my thoughts don’t always come out as clear as I want them to be sometimes leaving a question not fully answered. My writing process isn’t a consistent set in stone process, but since being in ENC 1101 I always follow some of the same parameters such as revising my drafts, grammar usage and considering context and audience.
the writing process has five stage. first stage prewriting. In this stage children should pick a top that he or she understand, consider the fact of writing and she or he are capable to identify the genre of the writing.

The art of writing is a complex and difficult process. Proper writing requires careful planning, revision, and proofreading. Throughout the past semester, the quality of my writing has evolved significantly. At first, I struggled with the separation of different types of paragraphs, and I found writing them laborious. Constant practice, however, has eliminated many of my original difficulties, and helped to inspire confidence in my skills. As a collegiate writer, my strength lies in my clear understanding of the fundamentals of writing, while my primary weakness is proofreading my own work.
As a result I believe that the progress I have made in my writing during the course of English 1B has changed my negative views of writing. As silly as it may sound to say that my fears about writing papers have been defeated, they have. Whether they are short reviews or extensive research papers, I have become more comfortable in writing. I have not only learned how to write and express myself more effectively, by organizing my critical thoughts, but most importantly I have learned that review and revision is an essential part of the writing process. This process how allowed me to grow to become a better writer. The skills I have acquired can be used for future coursework and beyond.
Writing can be a very difficult process for those who do not know how to go about constructing
Overall, rewriting is the best part of the writing process. I hope as a future teacher that I can teach the students that rewriting is the most important part of it. I also hope that I can get the students to not be afraid to write and jot things down on paper because writing is never going to be perfect in the
In the beginning of English 101 I was what you call a novice writer a person who only wrote what they felt was required. However, certain techniques that I learned in English 101 made me realize that writing was not about filling requirements; it’s about speaking out, exploring and proving a point. “Writing is an exploration. You start from nothing and learn as you go.” (Trimble, 17) In John Trimble’s quote he tries to point out that writing is something that you grow with and learn as you go along. I believe this growth was achieved with a technique that was introduced to me by my professor called repetitive revision. What I found out was that revision of your essays helps in recognizing your mistakes and enhances the flow of your essays. By providing me...
In my narrative essay I changed multiple errors throughout the paper along with adding more information. I started revising my essay by identifying that I need to change the point of view. I need to transform second person pronouns like “you” to first person pronouns like “we” and “I”. I strived to improve a list of grammatical errors as well throughout my paper. Finally, I need to add more dialogue and clarified my introduction paragraph to improve my essay. After re-reading my essay and identifying what I needed to correct, I started fixing my errors to improve my work.
However, there are two main types of feedback that teacher usually uses in the writing class. They are direct feedback and indirect feedback. Direct feedback is a technique of correcting students’ mistake by giving an explicit written correction (Srichanyachon, 2012). The teachers give direct feedback to the students, upon noticing a grammatical mistake, by giving the appropriate answer or the expected response above or near the linguistic or grammatical error. There are many ways for teacher to give direct feedback such as by striking out an incorrect or unnecessary word, phrase, or morpheme; inserting a missing or expected word, phrase, or morpheme; and by providing the correct linguistic form above or near the erroneous form (Ellis, 2008; Ferris, 2006), usually above it or in the margin. Direct feedback has the benefit that it provides explicit information about the correct. It is clear to see that direct feedback is suitable for beginner students, or in a situation when the students make mistakes but they cannot do self-correction such as sentence structure and word choice, and when teachers want to highlight error patterns that require student
