RAW, part 1

Prewriting

In this stage, the writer uses several techniques like

brainstorming, freewriting, researching, journaling,

outlining, and using diagrams to list down and map

Drafting

An initial composition is done at this point.

• However, the writer should not be concerned with

language, grammar, and organization yet, because

the goal in doing the first draft is to write down all

their ideas to convey a particular idea.

Securing feedback from peer/s

Guided by a rubric or some questions, writers

exchange work and give comments and

suggestions to improve the draft.

• Have you tried getting feedback from peers? How

was your experience?

Revising

Writers review and modify their work to improve

the draft.

• What can help you revise your draft?

• What is the importance of this stage in the process

approach to writing?

Securing feedback from the teacher

Similar to phase 3, only, it will be the teacher who

will give feedback at this point.

• How do you think this will be different from the

peer feedback activity?

Editing

Writers proofread and correct errors in grammar

and mechanics and edit to improve style and

clarity.

• Editing focuses on grammar and language used.

• Proofreading focuses on typography and

mechanics.

Publishing

This is when the writers share their final draft with

a group or the entire class.

• Have you experienced sharing your writing output

to others?

Role, Audience, Format, and Topic

CRITIQUE PAPER

is an academic paper that calls for a careful evaluation and analysis of a given topic (such as a piece of writing/literature, a work of art).

Accuracy

is whether the author's idea is correct and precise. Was there proof presented? Were the words used mean exactly what the author really wants to convey?

Relevance

is the importance and significance of the author's idea to the issue/topic being discussed and even to a broader area.

Clarity

is the understandability and orderliness of the ideas of the author, while logic is the soundness of the author's idea, which is established primarily by giving proof and support for the claims he/she makes.

INTRODUCTION

is the most essential part of the critique paper. It should be concise and include the author and title of the work being analyzed, its main idea, and a strong thesis statement.

SUMMARY

This should be brief and to the point. Only the author's/creator's main ideas and arguments should be included.

ANALYSIS/INTERPRETATION

Discuss what the author's/creator's primary goal was and determine whether this goal was reached successfully.

EVALUATION/RESPONSE

At this point, your readers are ready to learn your objective response to the work. It should be professional yet entertaining to read.

CONCLUSION

The last paragraph of your work should restate the thesis statement, summarize the key points, and create a sense of closure for the readers.

POSITION PAPER

also called

a point of view paper. explains

your opinion on a specific

issue or topic based on

logical support.

Thesis statement

is the claim or stand that you will develop in your paper. It is the controlling idea of your essay that summarizes the main point and states why the essay is important and worth reading. Generating this can be done through various methods. The most common is by asking questions.

Topic sentence

states the point the writer wishes to make about that subject. Generally, appears at the beginning of the paragraph. It is often the paragraph's very first sentence.

Supporting Details

provide information to clarify, prove, or explain the main idea. These details demonstrate the validity of the main idea. They often list parts, aspects, steps, or examples of the main idea.
