Writing Guidelines

Prewriting ■ Getting Ready to Write

Analyze the prompt using the PAST strategy:

    Purpose: Why am I writing? To narrate? To entertain?

    Audience: Who will read my writing?

    Subject: What topic should I write about?

    Type: What form will my writing take?

Planning Your Writing

Choose a specific topic and decide how you want to write about it (your focus). Then form a quick list or time line, identifying the important actions as they happened.
