The Writing Process
• Most good writers do not write a composition in one try.
• Most writers use a writing process, a series of steps to move from their first ideas to a focused, well-supported, clear, and correct composition.
• There is not one “right way” for everyone.
• We will use the basic writing process in the text to improve our writing.
