Chapter One rules for Writers Week 3

Diana Hacker, expresses concepts on “The Writing Process” and how to write a well written paper, develop a subject, determine the type of paper being asked to write, the purpose the paper will have and making sure that your reader’s understand the message you are trying to deliver in your writing.
First, start with a subject, come up with ideas such as brainstorming and ask yourself questions about these thoughts and ideas. Hacker explains there is two styles of writing one is an essay the other a research paper. These both have their own characteristics which identify them. Either one you write you must read about the topic you are writing about so you understand it, annotating the text as you do, make an outline of your reading and begin a rough draft from this outline. Lastly thoroughly revise your paper until reaching the final draft. The difference between the two styles is an essay requires reading the text closely and writing to support the text and in my reading of this it suggested the page number is referred to from the text. In a research paper you must gather information from many resources on your topic and have a bibliography of the resources you used. The final step in this writing process is to sketch an outline or plan about your subject with the sources of information you used.
Hacker, suggested communicating to your reader’s and that they can understand specifically what you are saying. Also answer the questions that may be most important to the audience adequately by asking who, what, where, why and how about the topic.
I feel I will use this writing process in conversation with people as well as my writing that way I can expand my thoughts and ideas by conversing with other people. Other people are a great source of other opinions and thoughts to brainstorm in writing papers. I will definitely utilize the outline tool, I never really have done this but I feel starting out by annotating as you read and then going back and being able to outline from that is an excellent way to have a organized paper and find things you may have missed your first time through. I will also have a plan so that my writing will flow with understanding and interest.
