guys,, let's do the writing :)


Today, we learn about writing. There are many types of writing such as cause/effect essay, comparison essay, definition essay, description essay, narration essay, persuasive essay and process analysis essay.






There are a number of  schools of thoughts who believe in differing stages of writing. These stages of writing are also referred to as stages of process writing. 

1) Brainstorming 
Brainstorming is an informal way of generating topics to write about, or points to make about your topic. It can be done at any time during the writing process. You can brainstorm the topics for a whole paper or just a conclusion or an example. The important point about brainstorming is that there should be no pressure to be "brilliant." Students should simply open their minds to whatever pops into them. Think of it as a kind of free association.

2) Planning
Careful planning eliminates possible of problems and helps you to write a clear, well focused piece of writing with sensible ideas and meaningful presentation.

3) Mindmapping
A mind map is a diagram used to represent words, ideas, tasks, or other items linked to and arranged around a central key word or idea. Mind maps are used to generate, visualize, structure, and classify ideas, and as an aid in study, organization, problem solving, decision making, and writing.

4) Editing
Editing is putting something (as a literary work or a legislative bill) into acceptable form. It involves the process of removing unnecessary or inappropriate words from a text. It enables the writer to detect errors as well as to refine and 'polish rough spots'.

Next, we learn on how to develop a thesis statement. A thesis statement is a sentence that shows the controlling idea of a piece of writing. We are divided into groups. 

In developing the thesis statement, you must first come up with an outline of the essay.

E.g. 
Topic : Working in groups is better than working alone 
Agree 
- Enables more input
- Able to engage various expertise
- Work completed faster 

Thesis statement : Working in groups is much more effective than working alone as it enables more input, the group can draw upon the various expertise of the team members and work can completed much faster.
