Writing Process Analysis
Writing Process Analysis
There are five different processes within the writing process. They are: prewriting, writing, revision, editing, and publishing. However, there are two main techniques within the process. They are informational and directional. The directional technique typically explains or directs the reader on how to do something that can range from cooking to how to conduct yourself in an job interview. The informational on the other hand tells the reader how the subject that's being discussed works. Such as, how a computer works or how vitamins work. These are essential parts of the writing process but, the main thing that we must look at is the prewriting …show more content…
However, when using the directional technique within the previous James Porter would be correct in saying that there isn't any notion of plagiarism when you have to tell the reader how to do something step by step. On the other hand when writing a research paper you should be able to bounce ideas off of others within your discourse community but, you can not take previous discoveries of others and use it without elaborating further while still giving credit to the person you have sampled. I believe James article can be connected to Mark Richardson because Richardson wrote about how writing isn't a basic skill. They connect in a sense that both articles involved a student struggling to write although one focuses more on learning how to write which, the notion of plagiarism should come up, while the other focuses more on the discourse community and the people in it and how plagiarism is involved. Porters notion makes the writing process null and void for the most part. If the notion of plagiarism is disregarded then, you can't start the create an idea process of the writing process. With Richardsons article it gives the idea that the most students are not even aware or know how to start the writing process. This also leads to the students to become unaware or not understand what they read. This was cover in the Haas …show more content…

Haas and Flower conclude that student writers and advanced readers are able to comprehend the message or overall point of the reading. However, the advanced readers appeared to have been able to dissect the message of the passage before the students. The student writers seem to focus more on writing about how content relates to something else, and the advanced writers seem to pick up on the rhetorical situation that the author was in, and then relate it to the overall meaning of the text. I think the overall purpose of this was to show how students are not actively aware of rhetorical situations and how they relate to the audience, author, and the written text. This doesn't surprise me because most readers are not advanced readers or writers and have never consciously been aware of a rhetorical situation or reading. These are all things that can complicate the writing process but, we still use the process. I believe that we tend to disregard the notions displayed in the article especially the plagiarism one due to the fact that when you start learning how to start the writing process that is the first thing you learn how to not
