Free writing will probably be the most used and most helpful writing method during this course. It’s almost like brainstorming but instead of just thinking about what to write, its taking the thoughts and putting them down on paper. It’s the best way to get started. The first draft is pretty much just a rough draft. Its taking all the ideas from the brainstorming and free writing and putting it into a draft. After writing the first draft the reader will be able to find mistakes in the writing and make corrections for the next draft.
Peer editing would be the best way of finding mistakes in the first draft. Think of the peer editor as a teacher or tutor. It is much easier to spot another person’s mistakes than it is to find your own.
The final draft will be the draft that is submitted in the end. All the brainstorming and editing will be reflected in the final draft so it’s a good idea to read over it a few times. Make sure everything flows well and the grammar is all correct

Response to describing three to four methods you will use during these cores to write about the literature will be reading. Let’s start out with “self questioning” these kinds of questions you should ask yourself when studying literature. Questions and characters, There relations with others, there circumstances and motives also questions about the setting the place in which the story takes place. Another helpful method is, “arranging your ideas”. As you write you will have to decide which points to make first and which ones to make later. You can arrange your ideas in two ways logical order or chronological order. Logical order involves arranging ideas in a way that will appeal to your reader’s intelligence and good sense On the other hand chronological order is based on time, involves writing about events in the order in which they occur. Another method you can use is “developing with details “. This is a balance between making your interpretive points and making the details to support them. If you go too far with interpretive direction it will sound personal and unconvincing but on the other hand just stating details will make it sound like your summarizing. Remember to state each generalization clearly and to support them with specific reference to the story. Also what story details has the writer made to develop the main point are also good things to keep in mind when writing.

The first method I would use in writing about the stories we will be reading is reading the txt so I can get an understanding on what to write about. I would then decide on what style of writing I my use in my essay. The style which I use mainly will be narrative. Then I word write down notes on key events, plot twists, and problems and there solutions and the details which go with those events. From those notes I would write a rough draft. I would ask a few other people to read over it besides myself. That is so they can check for any mistakes that I may have missed when I proofread it. If any mistakes are found I would go back and correct them. I would also, add any missing details that may go along with what I have written. I would do that so that the flow of the essay or paper would stay constant. Proofreading allows one to get other opinions on ones writing style. I would then start on a final draft of the paper. I would type it to the correct specifications that are given. These are like font size, spacing, and overall length of the paper. After, typing up the paper or essay I would print it off and check it for any errors and get a second or third opinion on it. Last, I would turn it in to the teacher .

When writing about literature, different methods of writing should be used to make the writing make sense and be laid out properly. Some of these methods are prewriting, drafting, peer editing, and revision. Prewriting will get all thoughts on the subject on paper in an organized fashion. Then from there it allows the ideas to be brain stormed on and ideas written down to look back on in writing and to keep the paper on topic. Drafting will be used to correct your paper in steps from rough draft to a final draft. Taking steps on your writing making sure it all makes sense, covers topic, and is correct. Peer editing having peers look over work, correcting what is wrong things that where mist and don’t make sense. This also gets other point of view on the writing, so the writer can have true input from the reader on the layout and wording of paper. Revision going over a final copy making sure everything is correct, makes sense, and covers topic. These methods together can help writing in many ways.

It seems the most difficult aspect of writing is how to begin. To begin a paper successfully, I normally start by researching the topic I am writing about. When attempting to start a literary work brainstorming can really make a difference. Sometimes I like to make an unorganized list of thoughts I have on the topic of my paper. I jot down random bullets that come to me as I go. It helps to have those thoughts down when going into the first draft. Once that is done, the organization process begins. One method I use for this is a bubble map. Putting things in a bubble map can help to place the thoughts from a list in the right order in the paper. Another useful method to writing a paper is to have someone else revise your rough draft. Make sure there are no spelling or grammatical errors in the paper. Having another person look at the paper is effective because they may see something you have missed. These are just a few things to help improve writing skills, though there are many other useful methods for writing out there. Using a outline with a bubble map can help people even more with the brainstorming process. Another hard part of writing can be the more simple parts of the body. If one doesn't have good strong supporting details to go with the body the essay is basically nothing. There will be no information, that flows and is coherent, for the audience to read about.

Composing a first draft is a good method to write about the literature I will read about in this course. Getting what you read on paper can be the hardest thing. Once it gets on paper I can make small changes to better the paper than making large adjustments and changing multiple things. One method I use making these adjustments is interpreting and arguing. Once I get the main idea down on my paper. I can make arguments and interpret information to better complete the essay. Some reading material is confusing to understand. That is what you must interpret. One of the last things I will use frequently is called revision. This is one or the most important parts of writing. If you don’t have good revision the paper will have multiple grammar and spelling errors. When you write a paper or essay it is very important to have good grammar and spelling. No matter what you write you are writing to an audience. That audience must be able to understand what you wrote for them to read. This response is very good, you made very valid points. Your first two sentences are very true with me; I may have to read an item several times just to get the idea of the article. Once I get down on paper I can also make my own adjustments and revisions as needed, and revision is very important, as you stated. The sentence about that you’re not writing to yourself, your in fact writing to an audience, and that it may make since to you, but not to the audience that is going to be reading it. Revision, as you stated, is very important, and you may revise it yourself several times, but you let a peer of yours revise it and they find something that is either wrong or doesn’t make sense. This is why you revise it yourself, but you also have a peer revise it also.

Make sure everything flows well and the grammar is all correct I agree with Free writing. It is a great way to start a essay. It is also a great way to make a complete essay. You can do this by just writing about a subject you like and know about. Write what comes to mind and don't try to proof read the first copy. Once the first draft is complete you can take out information you think is less relevant and add ideas and information that might get your audiacne to keep reading the paper. This is most effective with an essay that you can choose your own topic of interest.

Three to four methods of writing The first step I use to writing a paper is to prewrite. This is where I brain storm my ideas that I have for how I want to write my paper. Typically I write a few ideas on paper and then start writing using one of them and if I hit a wall in my writing I go to another one. Drafting is the second step in my writing and this is where I start writing my paper with the ideas that I came up with in my prewriting. I don’t focus on making mistakes in the draft; I just work on getting my ideas onto paper. After I finish my rough draft I proof read it myself and make any corrections that need to be made. After I make the corrections that becomes my second draft. Once I have finished my second draft I have it peer edited. That is simply where someone else in the class reads my paper and looks for any mistakes I may have missed. This is very helpful in writing because a lot of times I miss mistakes because I know what I was trying to say. Whereas the person peer editing my paper has no idea so it is easier for them to catch the mistakes than it is for me to do so. After I receive my paper back from being peer edited I write my final draft. I agree with this response, for the simple reason that this is almost the same way I start all my papers. He says that he starts by brainstorming into prewriting and doesn’t worry about the simple mistakes. I take and divide my paper into 3 sections and brain storm enough ideas to fill my paragraph with sentences then begin to form them in to an essay. I also believe that peer editing is a great way to bring up grades on your essay in the classroom. This method works for me and I would recommend it to anyone trying to improve on their essays.
