The six steps of the writing process When we write we do more than just put words together to make sentences. Good writers go through several steps to produce a piece of writing. PRE-WRITING (THE PLANNING IN THREE PARAGRAPHS ) Choose a topic: (elige el tema que te resulte más fácil de desarrollar) Gather ideas: When you have a topic, think about what you will write about that topic (decide que vas decir sobre el tema). Organise: Decide which of the ideas you want to use end where you want to use them. Choose which idea to talk about first , which to talk next and which to tal about last.
