Keep a writer’s journal by recording personal
experiences, perceptions, and ideas.
Do free writing.
Cluster by drawing lines and circles to show connection
between ideas.
Ask questions (5W’s and 1H).
Read with focus.
Listen with focus.
Observe by noticing details around you through the
senses
Imagine. Use “what if” approach.
Writing stage is the part where we begin
to write our first draft.
Do’s and Don’ts of writing a first draft:
Do not overanalyze your writing;
Feel free to follow the flow of ideas;
Do not exaggerate details;
Work on the details as much as possible to keep the
story fresh in your mind;
Do not worry yet about how good your writing is.
Have fun!
Re-writing stage is also known as the
“revision” stage to ensure the following:
The content of the paper is relevant;
There is organization and coherence in the
arrangement of ideas; and
Grammar and mechanics are clearly observed.
