The 6 Step Writing Process
On this page you will learn about the 6 steps to writing a good story. It will show you how to prewrite, write, revise, edit, proofread, and publish. This will teach you how to write a better story. Now get on your horse and ride into the world of writing.
1. Prewriting - Before you start your story you have to think about what you want to write. This is called Prewriting. Something you can do is make a story web or complete a graphic organizer. That is when you think of ideas to make your story, like who is going to be in it, the setting, the plot, and the problem/solution and organize them graphically.
2. Drafting -This is the step to writing your first draft. You put all your ideas that you had into paragraph form.
3. Revising - After you have written your rough draft of your story it is time to revise your story. During the revising process, you will check to make sure that you have all of the information you need. You may need to rearrange paragraphs or sentences. You can also give it to a friend or a parent and let him/her read it through.
4. Editing - Now you must read over your story and make sure that there are no missed mistakes and everything is the way you like it. You need to check if your spelling, punctuation, grammar, and capitals are in the right place and if everything is ready for a final copy.
5. Evaluating - Reread your finished writing. Make sure it is the best it can be. Consider applying what was learned from this assignment to future pieces of writing.
6. Publishing - Wow. It is already time for you to write your final copy. Take your rough draft and copy it on a computer or paper and then you are done!
(Before you write your final copy make sure everything is the way you like it.)
