Process of Writing
This section includes a description of the
activities leading to the writing of the previous essay. These activities
include prewriting, writing and rewriting.
a. Prewriting
Graham and Perin (2007: 18) explain that
pre-writing engages students in activities designed to help them generate or
organize ideas for their composition. Engaging the students in such activities
before they write a first draft improves their quality of their writing.
Prewriting activities include gathering possible information for a paper
through reading or developing a visual representation of their ideas before
sitting down to write.
Alexander (1990: VI-3) in this section, the
students are required to cluster or list what they know for each topic
before deciding on one topic as the subject of their report of information
essay. Some students list subtopics for two or three choices and then select
the topic that yield the greatest number of subtopics.
Oshima (1997: 15) states that brainstorming is
prewriting activity in which you come up with a list of ideas
about a topic on your own in small groups with your classmates. You quickly
write down a list of ideas that come to your mind as you are thinking about a
general subject or specific topic. Follow these brainstorming steps:
1)
Write
down your general subject or specific topic.
2)
Make a
list everything that comes to your mind about it.
3)
Use
words, phrase, and/or sentences. Don’t worry about the order of ideas, mechanics,
grammar, or spelling.
4)
Just
keep writing down whatever comes to your mind until you run out of ideas.
Because you are only brainstorming, don’t be concerned if you repeat several
ideas.
b. Writing
Graham
and Perin (2007: 20) the process of writing approach stress activities that
emphasize extended opportunities for writing. Writing for ralaudiencs,
self-reflection, personalized, instruction and goals, and cycles of planning,
ad reviewing.
Litell
(1981:7) at this point in the process of writing, you are ready to write.
Simply put your pencil to paper and write. Don’t fuss with the writing. Don’t
worry about organizing ideas. Don’t fuss about spelling or punctuation. Just
