Your Mission

Link to Rubric

For this assignment, you will use this tutorial as an in-depth

look at the writing process and apply that process to

creating a narrative project.

Throughout this lesson, you will create your project step by

step, first by completing pre-writing requirements, next by

creating an outline for your project, and then by composing

a rough draft, which you will edit and revise before utilizing

to guide the publishing of your finished work.

Knowing the writing process will help you create organized

and clearly defined written work, prepare quality projects

such as podcasts or videos, and empower you to effectively

plan for any future projects that come your way, in school

and at your jobs.

Rough Draft

Assignments

At this stage it is important to get your ideas drafted, but it

is not important for the draft to be perfect.

During the revision process you will have an opportunity to

go back and make changes. Some things to consider while

crafting your rough draft:

Are my thoughts organized?

Which ideas will I develop?

What order do I want to tell my story?

Who can review this to provide feedback?

Toward the end of this project, you will use your rough draft

to guide the design and completion of your chosen final

product.

Please submit your

rough draft to

Turnitin.com by the due

date so it can be

reviewed by your peers

during the editing stage.

Reading the rough draft out loud is one tool some

writers use to help find mistakes and hear how

well the writing flows.

Some things you want to consider during this

stage include:

• Did I use complete sentences and correct

grammar and punctuation?

• Does the written product alight to the

requirements of the assignment?

• Did I mark and correct the items to be

changed?

• Did someone else review my work?
