Chapter One “the Writing Process” it gives the reader basic steps to follow to aid them in writing. The first step it explains how to assess the writing situation. In this step it aids you to create a check list on the subject, source of the information, the purpose of the paper, the length and the deadlines. The next step it gives you ways to explore the subject and techniques to create a draft. I this step it covers listing, clustering, freewriting you ideas on the subject. It goes over the importance of keeping a journal and to ask questions. Formulating a tentative thesis is the next step. In this step you’ll the more information that is gathered you will be able to generate questions about your subject. Your thesis sentence will give boundaries to your paper. The final step is sketch a plan. Crate a formal or informal outline will aid in the structure of topic and help in generating a working order of your topic.
In my future writing I like the idea of freewriting and seeing were my mind leads me, but I also like the idea of clustering. The ability to take something that I’m going to write about and creating clusters of things that are related to that subject might give me enough thoughts to give me supporting subtopics.
I first would need to create a plan. I need to find out what is my purpose of writing about the subject,what I want the audience to know, what the length that it needs to be,and the source of the information. I would also need to have the ability to ask question and to have enough information to answer the questions that I come up with. I believe that I need to give myself enough time and opportunity to create a rough draft or outline of my topic. This outline will keep me focused on the subject and aid me in writing a well written paper.
