Before we get started, below is the link to the writing process worksheet. With this format and stages, it is essential to the breakdown for your great piece of writing to be.

Stage One: Exploring/Experimenting/Gathering Information

Stage one offers four different approaches in order to make you come up with an idea of what to write with.
1. Free writing
2. Brainstorming
3. Clustering
4. Gathering information

You can explore the four of these methods to start off an idea you'd like to write about. Never let your thoughts seize.

Stage Two: Writing the Controlling Idea/ Organizing and Developing Support

As you write to you to make sure that you are getting out there to your audience. If you write a topic sentence for a paragraph and a thesis for an essay, I'm positive that you can make them interested in what you are trying to put on paper. Topic sentences and a thesis are essential and one of the most important face in writing. If you don't have either or, you're piece of writing could not be understood.  In addition to that, you will need an outline to organize your thoughts and this is a basic form of that:

1. Major Support
1. Minor Support
1. Explanation, detail, example
2. Explanation, detail, example
2. Minor support
1. Explanation, detail, example
2. Major Support
1. Minor Support
1. Explanation,detail example

Stage Three: Writing/Revising/Editing

After you have your outline gathered, now it is the time to put it onto paper. An essay is considered the expansion of your outline. Remember that drafts are meant to be redone in order to not make it perfect, but as good as it's potential. You always want to have someone else review your work to give thoughts and opinions on it. Peer reviews are a key role in writing and helpful for creating a complete piece. Ensure that you follow: (CLUESS) and (COPS). With these revision skills in hand, I'm positive that you can turn a frown upside down when reading a funny narrative.
