WAYS OF BRAINSTORMING • Write every idea that pops into your head
about the topic. The main purpose of brainstorming is to write as many ideas as you can think of.

BRAINSTORMING EXAMPLE
![Page 7: TABLE OF CONTENTS RESEARCH/BRAINSTORMING FREEWRITING/FIRST DRAFT REVISION/FINAL EDITING RESEARCH/BRAINSTORMING FREEWRITING/FIRST DRAFT REVISION/FINAL.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062410/56649e1f5503460f94b0a8fc/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
BRAINSTORMING TIPS
Tip 1: Once you have an idea, you need to expand on it. Don’t make the mistake of jumping straight into your writing – you’ll end up with a badly structured piece.
Tip 2: In the process of brainstorming you should suspend any concerns about staying organized.
Tip 3: The goal is to pour your thoughts onto paper without worrying about whether they make sense or how they fit together.

FREE WRITINGWhy free writing?
It temporarily rids us of our internal editorAccording to Mark Levy, “ . . . Since the editor wants us to always look good to others, it’s going to tell us we’re being stupid or impractical if we try thinking thoughts that are radically different for us. It’s going to order us to push aside the new and go with the familiar. It’s going to anchor us to what’s not working.”

paragraphs
Here the secrets of your story will reveal themselves
![Page 14: TABLE OF CONTENTS RESEARCH/BRAINSTORMING FREEWRITING/FIRST DRAFT REVISION/FINAL EDITING RESEARCH/BRAINSTORMING FREEWRITING/FIRST DRAFT REVISION/FINAL.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062410/56649e1f5503460f94b0a8fc/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)

Resist any temptation at this stage to pin down every detail in its proper place
Try to make your early drafts as complete as possible at the time

![Page 17: TABLE OF CONTENTS RESEARCH/BRAINSTORMING FREEWRITING/FIRST DRAFT REVISION/FINAL EDITING RESEARCH/BRAINSTORMING FREEWRITING/FIRST DRAFT REVISION/FINAL.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062410/56649e1f5503460f94b0a8fc/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Revision vs. Proof ReadingRevision occurs throughout the writing process, while proofreading occurs once you are confident that your paper's ideas, support, and organization are strong.
![Page 18: TABLE OF CONTENTS RESEARCH/BRAINSTORMING FREEWRITING/FIRST DRAFT REVISION/FINAL EDITING RESEARCH/BRAINSTORMING FREEWRITING/FIRST DRAFT REVISION/FINAL.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062410/56649e1f5503460f94b0a8fc/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
RevisionRevision is the process of rereading your paper and making changes (in content, organization, sentence structures, and word choice) to improve it.During revision, writers may add, remove, move and substitute text. Repeat this process until you feel confident that your paper has focused ideas, strong evidence, and an effective organization.
“I rewrite a great deal. I’m always fiddling, always changing something. I’ll write a few words-then I’ll change them. I add. I subtract. I work and fiddle and keep working and fiddling, and I only stop at the deadline”. (Ellen Goodman)

Tips for Revision
Give yourself adequate time to revise.
Print a hard copy of your paper.
![Page 20: TABLE OF CONTENTS RESEARCH/BRAINSTORMING FREEWRITING/FIRST DRAFT REVISION/FINAL EDITING RESEARCH/BRAINSTORMING FREEWRITING/FIRST DRAFT REVISION/FINAL.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062410/56649e1f5503460f94b0a8fc/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Tips for Revision
Read your paper out loud. Sometimes you can hear mistakes that you don't see.
Have your course mate read your paper.
![Page 21: TABLE OF CONTENTS RESEARCH/BRAINSTORMING FREEWRITING/FIRST DRAFT REVISION/FINAL EDITING RESEARCH/BRAINSTORMING FREEWRITING/FIRST DRAFT REVISION/FINAL.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062410/56649e1f5503460f94b0a8fc/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Tips for Revision
Don’t fall in love with what you have written. Be open to change it when needed.
![Page 22: TABLE OF CONTENTS RESEARCH/BRAINSTORMING FREEWRITING/FIRST DRAFT REVISION/FINAL EDITING RESEARCH/BRAINSTORMING FREEWRITING/FIRST DRAFT REVISION/FINAL.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062410/56649e1f5503460f94b0a8fc/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Tips for Revision
But sometimes I revise as I go. What should I do?
-That’s OK. Since writing is a circular process, you don’t do everything in some specific order.
Warning: There are two potential problems with revising as you go.
If you revise only as you go along, you never get to think of the big picture. The key is still to give yourself enough time to look at the essay as a whole once you’ve finished. If you spend too much time tinkering with what is on the page, you may lose some of what hasn’t yet made it to the whole picture.

Proof reading
"Proofreading” is a special kind of reading: a slow and methodical search for misspellings, typographical mistakes, and omitted words or word endings.
![Page 24: TABLE OF CONTENTS RESEARCH/BRAINSTORMING FREEWRITING/FIRST DRAFT REVISION/FINAL EDITING RESEARCH/BRAINSTORMING FREEWRITING/FIRST DRAFT REVISION/FINAL.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062410/56649e1f5503460f94b0a8fc/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Tips for Revision
Go through the paper backwards. By reading the document backwards, sentence by sentence, you are able to focus only on the words and sentences without paying attention to the context or content.
![Page 25: TABLE OF CONTENTS RESEARCH/BRAINSTORMING FREEWRITING/FIRST DRAFT REVISION/FINAL EDITING RESEARCH/BRAINSTORMING FREEWRITING/FIRST DRAFT REVISION/FINAL.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062410/56649e1f5503460f94b0a8fc/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Tips for Proof reading
• Watch Out for HomonymsHomonyms are words that share the same spelling or pronunciation, but have different meanings.
Switching accept with except or complement with compliment could be disastrous, so pay attention to them.
• Watch Out for Contractions and ApostrophesPeople often mix their and they’re, its and it’s, your and you’re and so on. If there is something that can hurt the credibility of your text, it is a similar mistake.
![Page 26: TABLE OF CONTENTS RESEARCH/BRAINSTORMING FREEWRITING/FIRST DRAFT REVISION/FINAL EDITING RESEARCH/BRAINSTORMING FREEWRITING/FIRST DRAFT REVISION/FINAL.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062410/56649e1f5503460f94b0a8fc/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Tips for Proof reading
Check the Punctuation
Focusing on the words is good, but do not neglect the punctuation. Pay attention to capitalized words, missing or extra commas, periods used incorrectly and so on.
