The Writing Process: Pre-writing

Before we begin writing our essay, it's essential to go through the pre-writing phase. This phase involves brainstorming your topic, developing ideas, and determining your target audience and purpose. By clarifying these aspects, you can structure your essay effectively.

1. Brainstorming Your Topic

For this essay, our topic will be "Should girls be allowed to play on boys' sports teams?" Start by listing down any ideas or thoughts you have about this topic. Consider the different perspectives, arguments, and reasons that support your viewpoint.

2. Developing Ideas

Once you have your topic, it's important to expand on your ideas and provide reasons to support your argument. Let's explore some possible reasons why girls should be allowed to play on boys' sports teams.

The Writing Process: Drafting

Now that you have your ideas, it's time to start drafting your essay. A graphic organizer or Outline can be helpful in structuring your sentences and paragraphs. Let's begin with the introductory paragraph and the first body paragraph.

"Are girls the same as boys?"

Hi, my name is Kareem, and this essay will discuss whether girls should play the same sports as boys. I firmly believe that girls should have equal opportunities when it comes to sports. There are several reasons why girls should be allowed to play the same sports as boys. Firstly, it is a matter of fairness. Additionally, girls are capable of playing just as well, if not better, than boys. Finally, it aligns with the principles of gender equality.

In the first body Paragraph, we will focus on the fairness aspect. Girls can sometimes play as good or even better than boys. It is also unfair to deny girls the opportunity to play with boys. Girls can exhibit more energy and enthusiasm for sports, and it is only fair that boys are given the chance to play on girls' teams too.

The Writing Process: Revising

After completing the first draft, it's time to revise and edit your essay. This essential step helps ensure that your writing flows smoothly and effectively communicates your ideas. Read through your essay, checking for logical coherence, proper grammar and punctuation, and Clarity of expression. Make any necessary revisions to improve the overall quality of your work.

The Writing Process: Publishing

Congratulations! You have written your persuasive essay. Now, it's time to publish it, which means sharing it with others and getting their feedback. You can start by reading your essay to a family member or friend. Their input can help identify strengths and areas for improvement in your writing. Remember that it's okay to make changes and rewrite your essay to make it better.

Conclusion

In conclusion, writing a persuasive essay involves several steps, including pre-writing, drafting, revising, and publishing. Each stage plays a crucial role in creating a well-structured and Cohesive essay. By following this process, you can effectively convey your thoughts and arguments while advocating for your viewpoint. So, go ahead, take this knowledge, and Create a compelling persuasive essay!
