UFS 211- TASK 3; the stages of writing process


                                                                      Writing Process
1. Prewriting
This covers everything you do before starting your rough draft. As a minimum, prewriting means coming up with an idea!
Ideas and Inspiration
Ideas are all around you. If you want to write but you don’t have any ideas, try:
Using a writing prompt to get you started.
Writing about incidents from your daily life, or childhood.
Keeping a notebook of ideas – jotting down those thoughts that occur throughout the day.
Creating a vivid character, and then writing about him/her.
Tip: Once you have an idea, you need to expand on it. Don’t make the mistake of jumping straight into your writing – you’ll end up with a badly structured piece.
Building on Your Idea
These are a couple of popular methods you can use to add flesh to the bones of your idea:
Free writing: Open a new document or start a new page, and write everything that comes into your head about your chosen topic. Don’t stop to edit, even if you make mistakes.
Brainstorming: Write the idea or topic in the center of your page. Jot down ideas that arise from it – sub-topics or directions you could take with the article.
Once you’ve done one or both of these, you need to select what’s going into your first draft.


Planning and Structure
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.
Then, decide how to order those ideas. Try to have a logical progression. Sometimes, your topic will make this easy, in this article, for instance, it made sense to take each step of the writing process in order.

2. Writing 
 At this stage, don’t think about word-count, grammar, spelling and punctuation. Don’t worry if you’ve gone off-topic, or if some sections of your plan don’t fit too well. Just keep writing.
Some things that many writers find helpful when working on the first draft include:
Setting aside at least thirty minutes to concentrate: it’s hard to establish a writing flow if you’re just snatching a few minutes here and there.
Going somewhere without interruptions: a library or coffee shop can work well, if you don’t have anywhere quiet to write at home.
Switching off distracting programs: if you write your first draft onto a computer, you might find that turning off your Internet connection does wonders for your concentration levels.
You might write several drafts, especially if you’re working on fiction. Your subsequent drafts will probably merge elements of the writing stage and the revising stage.

3. Revising

Revising your work is about making “big picture” changes. You might remove whole sections, rewrite entire paragraphs, and add in information which you’ve realized the reader will need. Everyone needs to revise – even talented writers.
The revision stage is sometimes summed up with the A.R.R.R. (Adding, Rearranging, Removing, and Replacing) approach:
Adding
What else does the reader need to know? If you haven’t met the required word-count, what areas could you expand on? This is a good point to go back to your prewriting notes – look for ideas which you didn’t use.
Rearranging
Even when you’ve planned your piece, sections may need rearranging. Perhaps as you wrote your essay, you found that the argument would flow better if you reordered your paragraphs. Maybe you’ve written a short story that drags in the middle but packs in too much at the end.
Removing
Sometimes, one of your ideas doesn’t work out. Perhaps you’ve gone over the word count, and you need to take out a few paragraphs. Maybe that funny story doesn’t really fit with the rest of your article.
Replacing
 If you’re not sure what’s working and what isn’t, show your writing to someone else. This might be a writers’ circle, or just a friend who’s good with words. Ask them for feedback. It’s best if you can show your work to several people, so that you can get more than one opinion.

4. Editing
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.
When editing, go through your piece line by line, and make sure that each sentence, phrase and word is as strong as possible. Some things to check for are:
Have you used the same word too many times in one sentence or paragraph? Use a thesaurus to find
        alternative.
Are any of your sentences hard to understand? Rewrite them to make your thoughts clear.
Which words could you cut to make a sentence stronger? Words like “just” “quite”, “very”, “really”
         and “generally” can often be removed.
Are your sentences grammatically correct? Keep a careful look out for problems like subject-verb agreement and staying consistent in your use of the past, present or future tense.
Is everything spelt correctly? Don’t trust your spell-checker – it won’t pick up every mistake. Proofread as many times as necessary.
Have you used punctuation marks correctly? Commas often cause difficulties. You might want to check out the Daily Writing Tips articles on punctuation.

5. Publishing
The final step of the writing process is publishing. This means different things depending on the piece you’re working on.
Bloggers need to upload, format and post their piece of completed work.
Students need to produce a final copy of their work, in the correct format. This often means adding a bibliography, ensuring that citations are correct, and adding details such as your student reference number.
Journalists need to submit their piece to an editor. Again, there will be a certain format for this.
Fiction writers may be sending their story to a magazine or competition. Check guidelines carefully, and make sure you follow them. If you’ve written a novel, look for an agent who represents your genre. (There are books like Writer’s Market, published each year, which can help you with this.

UFS 211-TASK 4; the stages of writing process, topic sentence, supporting sentence and concluding sentence


Writing process with topic sentences, supporting sentences and concluding sentences

The topic sentence

In most cases, the first sentence of a paragraph is the topic sentence. The topic sentence tells you what the paragraph will be about. From a good topic sentence, you should be able to predict the content of the paragraph.

The topic sentence states the main idea of the paragraph. It not only names the topic of the paragraph, but it also limits the topic to one specific area that can be discussed completely in the space of a single paragraph. The part of the topic sentence that announces the specific area to be discussed is called the controlling idea. Notice how the topic sentence of the model states both the topic and the controlling idea:

Gold, a precious metal, is prized for two important characteristics.   

The support sentences
The topic sentence is followed by the support sentences. Support sentences expand on the topic sentence. The material in the support sentences should be presented in a systematic way. Order of importance, chronological order, order of operations or space order is most frequently used.
That is, they explain or prove the topic sentence by giving more information about it. Following are some of the supporting sentences that explain the topic sentence about gold.

Gold has a lustrous beauty that is resistant to corrosion.
A Macedonian coin remains as untarnished today as the day it was made 25 centuries ago.
Another characteristic of gold is its usefulness to industry and science.
The most recent use of gold is in astronauts' suits.

The concluding sentence

The concluding sentence summarizes the main point of the paragraph. It often re-states the idea in the topic sentence using different words. Not all paragraphs have a concluding sentence.
The concluding sentence signals the end of the paragraph and leaves the reader with important points to remember:

In conclusion, gold is treasured not only for its beauty but also for its utility.

Checklist for Writing a Paragraph
Steps 1 - Write the topic sentence
The best starting point for a paragraph is a topic sentence. If you are writing the paragraph in response to a specific question, this should not be a difficult task because the wording of the question will assist you.


Step 2 - Brainstorm
Once you have written the topic sentence, you need to think of ideas to support it. Try brainstorming. Jot down anything that relates to your topic sentence: facts, details or examples. This might only take a few minutes, but it is an important part of the writing process.


Step 3 - Plan
Brainstorming will probably provide you with more ideas than you require. Read over what you have written, and cross out those ideas which do not obviously relate to the topic sentence. Arrange the remaining ideas in the order you wish to present them in your paragraph.


Step 4 - Write the first draft
The first draft should include all the ideas in your plan. It is a good idea to use every second line if you are writing the first draft on paper. This makes revision and editing much easier. Once you have finished writing the first draft, think about what you have written. You might consider a concluding sentence. Write one if you think it is necessary to complete the paragraph.


Step 5 - Revise and edit
Revising and editing your paragraph means rethinking and rewriting. It may involve making additions or corrections, rewriting sentences or rearranging details. Ask yourself the following questions
1. Is the topic sentence clear and relevant?
2. Do the facts, details and examples explain/develop the topic sentence?
3. Is there enough support?
4. Is the material presented in a systematic way?
5. Does one sentence lead smoothly to the next?


Step 6 - Check grammar, spelling and punctuation
 The ultimate arsenal of professional writing tools to combat those embarrassing writing errors that everyone tends to make, a universal interactive grammar checking, smart spelling checking, dictionary, thesaurus, AutoCorrect, and styled-text Auto Type tool that virtually works with every program on your computer. Enhance your writing experience and Save precious time and keystrokes. Insert standard greetings, phrases, and signatures as formatted text. Correct typos automatically. Insert the current date and time in any preferred format. And do so much more.


Step 7 - Write the final draft
This step is to put all essay together. The best next step is to write the entire essay out at least once before writing the final draft. Most authors do several revisions before they feel satisfied. You may not have this option. You have to make this decision based on when your essay is due, how much time you have allowed yourself to complete the process, and how satisfied you feel with what you've written. If you've done your composing on the computer, polishing a first draft becomes a bit easier.
Place your introductory paragraph first, then the three body paragraphs, and finally the concluding paragraph. Read the entire essay over to make sure the paragraphs flow smoothly from one to the other and that the ideas connect in a logical way.

Step 8 - Proofread your paragraph
Proofreading is whereas revision focuses on improving the content of the essay, proofreading deals with recognizing and correcting errors or punctuation, capitalization, spelling, and grammar.
The technique to revise and proofread you essay is;
Set your essay aside for awhile if you have time. Come back to it later. You will notice ways to make your essay better, and you'll see more errors to correct.
Read the essay aloud to yourself. Often you can hear errors that you may not catch while reading silently.
Have an adult or peer read your essay and gives you suggestions about confusing parts.


UFS 211-TASK 5; paragraph writing ''water pollution''


                                                                         Water Pollution
     
             The water is very important for human life but suddenly some people not realize about that and they are throwing rubbish everywhere without regard to pollution, especially water pollution. When the wind blows trash will fly into the river, sea, and the drain and this will cause the water around us is polluted and makes a disease to people.Sometimes waste oil from the factory in the discharge into the water also causes pollution to the animals that live in water. Finally, when this condition persists then, every living thing on this earth will die before this time because the earth is filled by the waste.  This all is due to irresponsible human behavior. Because of that many government agencies now make an affirmation and a fine to people who throw trash everywhere and hygiene campaigns are also many who had been carried out to alert people to the importance of water every living thing on this earth.

UFS 211-TASK 6: What are the common mistakes that you always do in writing? Do you find writing in English is difficult? What kind of problem do you face when you start writing? What are your suggestions to overcome the problem? Discuss.

       The common mistakes that I’m always doing in writing are about the sentences and I don’t have an idea to write a essay. I cannot explain the more profound for my essay and I’m also not fluent in English and this made me difficult to explain in more when I’m writing essays. Sometimes when I have a good idea to write essay I can make this easy but many of my sentence is wrong, my grammar is false in my word.
      So, this make me weaken to continue writing, when I try in hardest to follow all the instruction to writing a essay, I will do but not better than other people. All of this are because I’m weaken in this subject and I’m also always forgot about the correct sentences and the stage to writing, and also the grammar.
     For do the best in writing process I have to read a book in English language for me understand how people do writing in correct sentence without any wrong and how they use language correctly in their writing, in this way a little I can learn how to write an essay properly.
