 I. PREPARATION

 Establish you purpose.

“Why do I want to inform, entertain, or persuade
the audience about my topic?”
 Specify your persona as a writer (tone, language and
level setting).
“Will you be a columnist, an activist, a politician, or
a lawyer?”
 Know your target audience.
 Think of the topic and type of output you will produce.
SAMPLE OUTPUT
 II. MODELING (REFERENCE )

 Look at different works which are similar in nature with

the paper you are about to write.

 Analyze the features such as organization, structure,

and language use of the sample texts to determine how
they achieved their purpose.

 Choose excellent quality model papers.

 III. GENERATING IDEAS

 Brainstorming – list as many ideas as you can think of.

 Free writing – let the ideas flow freely by writing them

down in sentences.

 Clustering/Making an idea map

 IV. FOCUSING ON A TOPIC

 Narrow down your general topic

 Think of questions related to your specific

purpose.

 The answer may lead to your initial thesis

statement.
V. ORGANIZING IDEAS/OUTLINING

 Organize your ideas in an outline.

1. Answer the question that leads to your thesis
statement.

2. Write the subtopics for each main idea.

3. Write the supporting details for each of the subtopics.

 VI. DRAFTING

 Focus on the content and organization

 Build the credibility of your paper.

 When using the internet, check the website address

and look for the Uniform Resource Locator (URL) .
• Know the owner of the site by looking at the top-level domain.

Reliable sources:
• Google scholar or Google
Books
• .edu and .gov links
NOTE:
 VII. FEEDBACK

 A response to the written work which focuses on all

aspects of writing.

 This focuses more on the content, structure,

organization, and clarity of the message.

 This can be classified into three:

1. self-feedback

2. peer feedback

3. teacher feedback
Here are some questions to be used during the
feedback stage.
 VIII. REVISING

 Revision is the act of improving the original

paper by applying changes based on the
feedback.

 Apply critical thinking and evaluation skills

when considering the comments.

 If time permits, give yourself two to three days

before starting your revision (Breaks are
necessary.)
 IX. EDITING
