Author: Just Simply Write
When writing at home
And writing in school
The Process of Writing
Is an important tool!
This process will help you
Throughout the year
It will help you face
Your writing fears!
The first step is Brainstorming
You need to plan
So use an organizer
As much as you can!
Record your ideas
Write everything down
You are a writer
Making leaps and bounds!
Your ideas are complete
Now you should do
Your First Draft
That’s step number two!
Have plenty of paper
And pencils nearby
Dictionary and thesaurus
Do you know why?
Your first attempt
Try not to worry
To get everything right
There’s really no hurry!
So use your ideas
When you begin
Write complete sentences
From beginning to end!
Now it's time
To stop and think
Is your first draft
Really in sync?
I hope it's organized
Did you say "Yes?"
You should be proud
You're a writing success!
Your first draft is done
Let’s move to step three
It’s time to Revise
So listen to me!
Reread your story
Check your text
Add or take out
To make it correct!
Use stronger words
If there is a need
Move sentences around
So it's easier to read!
Next is step four
Now here we go
You need to Edit
Please take it slow!
Check your spelling
Punctuation too
Grammar and capitalization
It’s up to you!
It's so important
That your story flows
From sentence to sentence
This you should know!
After you edit
It’s time for fun
Begin to Publish
Then you’ll be done!
Write your final copy
Make sure it’s neat
Or use a computer
What a great feat!
Add some pictures
I ask you again
Then share your story
With family and friends!
Now you have gone
On a writing quest
I want to thank you
For doing your best!
