Writing skill shows an array of approaches that falls into two main conceptions: Writing as a product and writing as a process.

Prof. Yohimar Sivira

Process writing Product writing

text as a resource for comparison

• ideas as starting point

more than one draft

more global, focus on purpose, theme, text type, i.e., reader is emphasised

• collaborative

imitate model text

organization of ideas more important than ideas themselves

one draft

features highlighted including controlled practice of those features

individual

After figuring out your assignment - you need to generate ideas before you begin drafting.

Forget about the end product for a bit and just get creative.

Try listing, mapping, free-writing, journalist questions or any other method that works for you.

Prof. Yohimar Sivira

Page 5: Writing

Listing is a good way to quickly gather many ideas on paper.

Simply make a list of as many ideas as come to you as quickly as possible.Topic: Essay About An Important Place

List: Bed, my comfy chair, the mountains, the ocean, my office, the garden, anywhere with a book, home, the shower, the right state of mind…

Prof. Yohimar Sivira

Mapping is a form of free association that creates a visual image of ideas and their connections. Using mapping can give you not only ideas for an essay - but connecting ideas that may turn into paragraphs.

An outline is a general plan of the material that is to be presented in a speech or a

paper. The outline shows the order of the various topics, the relative importance of each, and the relationship between the

various parts.

Prof. Yohimar Sivira

Prof. Yohimar Sivira

Rules for OutliningRules for Outlining1. Subdivide topics by a system of

numbers and letters, followed by a period.

Example:I.    A.    B.        1.        2.            a.            b.II.    A.    B.

2. Each heading and subheading must have at least two parts.

3. Headings for parts of the paper of speech such as, Introduction and Conclusion, should not be used.

4. Be consistent. Do not mix up the two types of outlines. Use either whole sentences of brief phrases, but not both.

Choices in College and AfterThesis: The decisions I have to make in choosing college courses, depend on larger questions I

am beginning to ask myself about my life’s work.I. I have two decisions to make with respect to choosing college courses in the immediate future.A. One is whether to elect a course in art history or in chemistry.1. One time in my life, I planned to be a chemical engineer professionally.2. On the other hand, I enjoy art and plan to travel and see more of it.B. The second decision is whether to continue a third year of French beyond the basic college

requirement.1. French might be useful both in engineering and travel.2. Furthermore, I am eager to read good books which are written in French.3. How necessary are these considerations in the light of other courses I might take instead?II. My problem can be put in the form of a dilemma involving larger questions about my whole

future.A. On the one hand I want to hold a highly-trained position in a lucrative profession.B. On the other hand I want to lead a certain kind of life, with capacities for values not connected

with the making of money.III. I will have to make a decision balancing the conflicting needs I have described.A. I will hold open the professional possibilities by electing chemistry.B. I will improve and solidify what cultural proficiency in another language I have already gained,

by electing French.

After gathering ideas, you can think of your essay writing process in three drafts:

The Down Draft: Just get it all down .

The Up Draft: Then fix it up (revision and organization).

The Dental Draft: Check every ‘tooth’ carefully - work on word choice and sentencing to make it sound better (tweaking).

Prof. Yohimar Sivira

Page 12: Writing

During the revision phase - read your paper slowly, out loud to yourself.

Better yet, read it out loud to a friend or tutor.

Even better - have someone read it out loud to you!

You will be amazed what paper issues you can ‘hear’ that you missed when reading.

If parts are awkward, confusing, choppy or repetitive, you’ll notice.You might feel a little silly - but it may mean the difference in your paper grade.
