College Writing
I think the main points that caught my eye were prewriting, writing and rewriting. Because before your write you have to think about what you already know about what it is your writing about, then you need to do research about your topic then you can start writing about the topic you have choosen. When you get writing about the topic you chose, you go into detail and the main points about what it is your writing about. Knowing the rhetoric I think is key when your writing because if you do not know the three main points about rhetoric, your writing will not make sense or feel complete. Context, purpose and audience are the three points of rhetoric. The context is whats in the paper and what will be talked about, such as your point of view, opinion, argument and so on. Purpose is the reason your are writing it for and the audience is who you are writing for. And if one of theses three doesnt fit the paper as a whole, it may not make sense to the reader or the people revising your paper.

Nicely done, Dalton. Understanding the writing process is important, especially in a writing class. And while this reading sets up the writing process as steps, remember that sometimes even in the writing or revision process we return to prewriting (it's not always a 1-2-3 process). Also, remember that each of us has our own writing process and there is no "right" or "wrong" way to do it.
