Step By Step in Writing Essay
Step 1 : Prewriting
You should first pick what you will write about and do the necessary research before you begin writing. Coming up with a topic. The scope of your topic depends on the type of text you are writing—for example, an essay, research paper, or dissertation. Don't pick something that's too ambitious to be covered in words, or too limited for you to find much to say.
Step 2 : Planning and Outlining
Outlining an essay is a useful way to plan your structure before you start writing. This will help you structure the main ideas you want to focus on and how you will organize them. Outlines don't have to be final—it's okay if your structure changes during the writing process. Use bullet points or numbering to make your structure clear at a glance. Even for short text that doesn't use headings, it can be useful to summarize what you'll be discussing in each paragraph.
Step 3: Writing a first draft
Once you have a clear idea of your structure, it's time to come up with a complete first draft. This process can be very non-linear. For example, it makes sense to start writing with the main body of the text, saving the introduction for later once you have a clearer idea of the text you are introducing. To give structure to your writing, use your outline as a framework. Make sure that each paragraph has a clear central focus that relates to your overall argument.
Step 4: Redrafting and revising
Now is the time to take a critical look at your first draft and identify potential areas for improvement. Redesigning means adding or removing content substantially, while revising involves making changes to the structure and reformulating the arguments.
Step 5: Editing and proofreading
Editing focuses on local issues such as clarity and sentence structure. Proofreading involves reading the text carefully to eliminate typos and ensure stylistic consistency.
