Here is what I've posted before about the steps in the writing process. Please read it through and let us know what you think.
--------------------------------
Follow the writing process, whether you're writing for science, history, English, or whatever:
Prewriting: Brainstorm, research, plan, outline, thesis statement
Writing: Write first draft by starting with section II of your outline; write the introduction after the body of the paper is written; write the conclusion last.
Polishing: Revise, concentrating first on the body of the paper, then the intro, then the concl (revision = making sure ideas are logical and sequential and support your thesis); proofread (spelling, grammar, usage, etc.)
ok, thanks I understand now
Oh, good.
Remember, it's just a process! The logical way in which you work through ideas and forms and end up with a finished written piece.
