q4 Creative Nonfiction Writing

The document discusses the writing process for creative nonfiction pieces based on real-life experiences. It outlines 4 key components to consider: purpose, audience, subject, and writer. The writing process involves 5 steps: 1) generating ideas, 2) stating the main idea, 3) organizing ideas, 4) drafting, and 5) proofreading and revising. When drafting, writers should keep in mind their main idea, whether their explanation is fully developed, if they have enough evidence and arguments, and whether they have a conclusion.

The Writing Process
•Life teaches us a lot of things which we can
write about. We are fortunate to be blessed
with memories, ideas, emotions, questions
and experiences.

•Writing critically and thoughtfully shapes


the ideas that one wishes to express.
The Writing Situation
The model
shows the four
components
that must be
considered in
every writing
activity.
Purpose
•All kinds of writing requires specific
goals. This is the crucial part where
you have to maintain a clear and
specific objective, regardless of the
piece/type of writing you are working
on.
Audience
•Writing is effective only when the
readers receive and understand what
the writer intends to send.
Subject
• When you write, your subject can be
someone or something. Sometimes, you
write about yourself, your own interests,
feelings, experiences, values, and others.
Your subject must be well-developed and
explained to inform and communicate your
views to your audience effectively.
Writer
•Your identity or personality as a writer
is revealed by your words, tone,
approaches and attitudes in writing.
Your characteristics as a writer will
influence not only what is written but
also your intended readers.
DRAFTING AND THE WRITING TASK
•Despite the many different writing methods, the
basic steps in the writing process remain constant:
1. Generating ideas/finding a topic
(brainstorming, clustering, free-writing)
2. Stating the main idea or the thesis statement
3. Organizing ideas
4. Drafting/writing the draft
5. Proofreading, editing and revising
Generating ideas/
finding a topic
•Writing starts with identifying your topic
or subject. At this stage of generating
ideas, a number of strategies are useful,
such as brainstorming, clustering and free-
writing
Stating the Main Idea
• The thesis statement or topic sentence states
the topic and the controlling idea. This is called
the essay map. However, some writers still
indicate the ideas to be discussed in the body of
the essay to give their readers a clear preview
of what to expect in the body of the essay.
Writing the Draft
•The purpose of drafting is to begin the writing process.
Drafting begins when you actually put words on paper.
As you draft, keep the following questions in mind:
1. What is my main idea?
2. Is my explanation enough to have a fully developed
idea?
3. Do I have the sufficient examples, evidence and
arguments to support the main idea?
4. Do I have a conclusion? Is it a good one?
Proofreading, revising and
finalizing a draft

Will be discussed next meeting.
