Your final exam will be over only the content we have learned since TCAP. Since we have been writing and preparing our class book since TCAP, your English final exam will be about the writing process:
1. prewriting-- everything you do prior to writing (brainstorming, choosing a topic, making graphic organizers, researching, etc.)
2. drafting-- writing out your ideas for the first time
3. revising-- making changes to the content of the writing (adding paragraphs or details, removing irrelevant information, rewording, reordering, etc.)
4. editing and proofreading-- finding and correcting errors in spelling, grammar, mechanics, and usage
5. publishing-- presenting final product neatly, sharing finished work
We have used the process in many ways throughout this entire year and are using it right now to publish our class book. All of the questions on your final will be related to this process.
To help you prepare for your test, I have provided links to some practice questions below:
Writing Process and Style Quiz
Writing Process Steps Quiz
Writing Process Order
The writing process as you see it above and as you review it in these quizzes and games is only a guide for writing. It is helpful to guide you in your process, and knowing the terms and steps in order is helpful for answering test questions. As you can tell from what you've done this week and last week, writing can be done well a lot of different ways, and you may go back-and-forth between steps in the writing process. That's okay! Just remember this is a helpful guide.
