The writing cycle
Today we will be focussing on the pre-writing phase.
Pre-writing phase:
Before we start writing we need to think about who we are writing to, what our reason for writing is and what our organisation of the letter is going to be.
Go to p. 10 and read the assignment.
Look at p. 10: Who are you writing to and what is their position?
Look at p. 10: What does he/ she know about the topic you are writing about?
Look at p. 10: What information does he/ she need?
Look at p. 10: What is the reason this person gets a letter from you?
Look at p. 10: How might he/she react?
Look at p. 10: What have you two in common with each other and what are differences between you?
Read through p. 10 again. What is your reason for writing this letter?
Fill out p. 9
On p. 9 we can note down some things important to the pre-drafting phase.
Note down who you are writing to and what your reason for writing is.
Next, we need to look at our organisation. In which order will you present your information. Read the bullet points on p. 10
