- 1.2 What are writing strategies
Proofread your writing and fix any errors. Once you’ve spotted any major
organizational issues, go over your analysis carefully. Look for any problems with spelling, grammar, or punctuation, and correct them. This is also a good time to make sure that all of your citations are correctly formatted. You may find it helpful to have someone else go over your essay and look for any mistakes you might have missed. 1.2 What are writing strategies? A strategy is a general plan — or set of plans — you make to achieve a goal. So, a writing strategy involves tactics you use to ensure your writing meets the goals you’ve set for it. A writing strategy is any approach or method you employ to get to the outcome—the version of your text as you’ve envisioned it before you started writing it.Your number one goal is to capture and hold onto your reader’s interest. Your related goals will depend on the overall purpose of your writing: - to sell something (and make money) - to motivate your reader to do something - to evoke an emotional response (pathos, anger, levity, etc.) While the reason for your writing goal can vary, the goal itself does not. And the sooner you learn how to put the following 15 writing strategies into practice, the sooner your audience will grow. Writing is an effortful and complex activity. In order to manage the many constraints, writers need to organize the cognitive activities involved in writing. Research by Rijlaarsdam and van den Bergh (1996) and van den Bergh and Rijlaarsdam (1999) showed that individual differences can be identified in the way students construct their writing process. In the present, we define the writing strategy of an individual as the way that person tends to organise cognitive activities like planning, composing and revising. Several studies, both empirical and anecdotal, describe different writing strategies. In these studies, usually two dimensions are used to describe the differences between writing strategies. The first dimension concems the degree to which writers tend to plan before writing. The second dimension concerns the degree to which writers tend to rewrite and revise their texts. 5 5 Marleen Kieft, Writing as a learning tool: Testing the role of students' writing strategies. - London: European Journal of Psychology of Education 2006. - 20p |
