Apply Basic Knowledge of the Elements of the Writing Process to Communicate Effectively
Steps in the Writing Process
Each step of the writing process is important in order to produce a well-written piece. There are five steps to the writing process: prewriting, writing, conferencing, revision, and editing. The ATI TEAS will expect you to be knowledgable in each of these steps.
- Brainstorming is when you come up with ideas by brainstorming with yourself or with a group.
- Stream-of-consciousness writing is when you just start writing without stopping to think about what you’re going to write.
- Mind mapping is when you create a visual map of your ideas.
Determining the Meaning of Words by Analyzing Word Parts
- Inflectional is when a suffix is added to a word to show grammatical function but doe not change the essential meaning. For example, the plural marker “-s” can be added to the word “cat” to create the word “cats.”
- Derivational is when a suffix is added to a word to create a new word with a different meaning. For example, the suffix “-ful” can be added to the word “hate” to create the word “hateful.”
