ESSAY- PRE-WRITING STEPS Mrs. L. Lamberty
What is a pre-writing stage? It is when you prepare your ideas for your essay before you begin writing.  You will find it easier to write your essay if you build an outline first.
Six Pre-writing Steps
1st Step: Think carefully about what you are going to write. Ask yourself:  What question am I going to answer in this paragraph or essay?  How can I best answer this question?  What is the most important part of my answer?  How can I make an introductory sentence (or thesis statement) from the most important part of my answer?  What facts or ideas can I use to support my introductory sentence?  How can I make this paragraph or essay interesting?  Do I need more facts on this topic?  Where can I find more facts on this topic?
2nd Step: Open your notebook. Write out your answers to the above questions.  You do not need to spend a lot of time doing this; just write enough to help you remember why and how you are going to write your paragraph or essay.
3rd Step: Collect facts related to your paragraph or essay topic. Look for and write down facts that will help you to answer your question.  Timesaving hint: make sure the facts you are writing are related to the exact question you are going to answer in your paragraph or essay.
4th Step: Write down your own ideas. Ask yourself: What else do I want to say about this topic?  Why should people be interested in this topic?  Why is this topic important?
5th Step: Find the main idea of your paragraph or essay. Choose the most important point you are going to present.  If you cannot decide which point is the most important, just choose one point and stick to it throughout your paragraph or essay.
6th Step: Organize your facts and ideas in a way that it develops your main idea. Once you have chosen the most important point of your paragraph or essay, you must find the best way to tell your reader about it.  Look at the facts you have written.  Look at your own ideas on the topic.  Decide which facts and ideas will best support the main idea of your essay.  Once you have chosen the facts and ideas you plan to use, ask yourself which order to put them in the essay.  Write down your own note set that you can use to guide yourself as you write your essay.
