The six steps of writing process
2. Read about the writing process. These are the steps you will practice in this unit.
 Process writing:
When we write, we do more than just put words together to make sentences. Good
writers go through several steps to produce a piece of writing.
Pre writing
Step one: Choose a topic. Before you write, your teacher gives you a specific assignment or some
ideas of what to write about. If not, choose your topic yourself.
Step two: Gather ideas. When you have a topic, think about what you will write about that topic.
Step three: Organise. Decide which of the ideas you want to use and where you want to use
them. Choose which idea to talk about first, which to talk about next, and which to talk about last.
Drafting
Step four: Write. Write your paragraph or essay from start to finish. Use your notes about your
ideas and organization.
Reviewing and revising

Step five: Review structure and content. Check what you have written. Read your writing silently
to yourself or aloud, perhaps to a friend. Look for places where you can add more information, and
check to see if you have any unnecessary information. Ask a classmate to exchange texts with you.
Your classmate reads your text, and you read his or hers. Getting a reader’s opinion is a good way to
know if your writing is clear and effective. Learning to give opinions about other people’s writing
helps you to improve your own. You may want to go on to step six now and revise the structure and
content of your text before you proofread it.
Rewriting
Step six:
Revise structure and content. Use your ideas from step five to rewrite your text, making
improvements to the structure and content. You might need to explain something more clearly, or

add more details. You may even need to change your organization so that your text is more logical.
Together, steps five and six can be called editing.
Proofread. Read your text again. This time, check your spelling and grammar and think about the
words you have chosen to use.
Make final corrections. Check that you have corrected the errors you discovered in steps five and six
and make any other changes you want to make. Now your text is finished.
