Etapas del Proceso de Escritura: De la Preescritura a la Publicación

Clase 4 de 21 • Curso Básico de Escritura en Inglés

Resumen

The writing process starts when you decide what you want to communicate, why it is relevant, and who is the audience of your writing. There are five simples steps you can follow that will help your writing process to be more effective:

Prewriting: explore possible topics, choose one, and collect ideas.
Drafting: put all your ideas down on paper.
Revising: read your draft and improve its form and content. You can add, remove, and change words. You can also rearrange the sentences.
Editing / Proof writing: fix all the errors in grammar, spelling, capitalization, and punctuation.
Publishing: present your writing to an audience.

Writing process:

What do you want to communicate?
Why is it important?
Who is your audience?

Prewriting: Explore topics and ideas
Drafting: Put all the ideas on paper
Revising: Put only the main idea
Editing: Fix grammar, capitalization, and punctuation errors.
Publishing: Share the writing with your audience . I think (for me) the most difficult step of writing is prewriting because I´m not very creative

In my opinion, stage 3 (Revising) of the writing process is ++the most difficult part++ to do; after the stage 2 (drafting), it is now time to decide what will be left out and what will stay in your essay/article/blogpost. It can be difficult and heartbreaking when you need to meet some criteria, and you need to erase lines, paragraphs and ideas 😢 ... And ++the easiest part++ to do is stage 4 (Editing/Proof writing), as I loooooove ortography 🧐 and wording 🧐 in written tasks, at least in Spanish, and now improving my English to do the same.

Prewriting

Writing process

What do you want to communicate?
Why is it important?
Who is your audience?

Prewriting: You are going to all the possible topics and ideas.
Drafting: You are going to use all the ideas you had during prewriting and put them down on pape.
Revising: You are going to look for your format and content. You can go back to drafting and revising as many times as you need.
Editing: You are going to fix grammar errors, capitalization, and punctuation errors.
Publishing: You are going to share the writing with your audience.

The most difficult step is writing when I don't have ideas. :(

maybe, you could do a Braimstorm with a work from the topic you what to writer about.

Pamela Natali Hernández Torres

student•

The most difficult thing for me is the drafting, because well, I know how to communicate but in Spanish, but then, when I have to make a switch to my English brain-side, when I want to talk about a difficult/unusual topic, it's difficult to try to avoid the translator and push myself to write on my own. The easiest (and funniest) thing is the editing process, I don't know why, but it's so satisfying for me to find typos, incorrect punctuation and then correct them, I feel joy doing it 😂

Hi Dayana! Try to share what you write and get feedback, I think this way you'll grow your confidence. :smile:

How were you going in the last year? Did you overcome that issues? In this particular, moment I have the same problem, sometimes I do it correctly, but another I fail completely, and the worst part is: I don't realize that!

Miguel Andres Rendon Reyes

The processes have more difficult when ya don't initialize it correctly. but all is fresh when you take the right to each step.

Sebastián Arredondo Posada

student•

Good class. I'd recommend you guys/girls when you are gonna write, in the third step try to obtain feedback, please take time to keep in mind someone's opinion. That can help you to improve your final text. ✍🏻

The Revising is like loop, that back forward the second or even the first stage, cuz you revising the content as a spectator and since this point of view, improve the content.

Leonardo Alain

student•

For me:

Most difficult: Revising
Difficult: Prewriting
Normal: Editing
Easy: Publishing
Easiest: Drafting

Gino Castro Torres

student•

Drafting is definitely the most difficult to me!

Wilfredo Lafaurie Peña

student•

I think that the most difficult stages process of writing is editing because you need to have a lot of knowledge in grammar if you want to get an excellent result in this.

Mery Johanna Gutiérrez Ortiz

student•

Yes, I agree with you. In my case, I pay more attention to the story and if my writing is clear for my audience.

Juan Camilo Maldonado Perez

student•

For me, the most difficult stage is Drafting, because I have many ideas, but it's hard for me to put them together and give them coherence, that's what I'm working on. The easiest stage is Publishing, because I don't feel sorry for myself, and I don't mind making mistakes. That's what Platzi is for!

you will see all the stages you go through during your writing process.

This process begins when you understand three things. What do you want to communicate, why is it important for you to say it, and who is your audience. There are five different stages during your writing process.

The first is pre-writing. At this stage, you will explore all possible topics and also you will gather some ideas. When you go to stage number two, the writing, you will use all the ideas that you had during pre-writing and you will put them on paper.

After that, you can move on to stage number three, the review. This stage is where you will look for your format and content. When you're comfortable with your content, you can move on to stage four, which is editing. In this stage, you will correct all the errors you have in grammar, spelling, capitalization and punctuation. When you have your final text, it is time for stage number five, the publication. Share your writing with an audience.

As they say out there. "Practice makes a master"

For me, the most difficult is when I think about that I will write.

Darilesy Betancourt Cupul

Writing is a hard work for me. Because, writting has some rules to follow all the time, it has the punctuaction (Literality a dot can change the maning of an oration, making it have a complete different mean), and finally the the way words are spelled correctly

For example: Tougth, Trought, Truht. If you don´t are sure how the word should be written you can make bigs mistakes and change the entire mean.

Derlys Dominguez Motta

student•

For me the most difficult is "revising" because summarize al the topics in a only is a titanic task.

Aaron Contreras Garibay

student•

Wow writing itself has a process.
