The Writing Process

Conduct topic analysis

Analyse your topic carefully. Ensure you include all the key information required. Correctly and thoroughly interpreting the question is critical to staying on topic in your writing. Refer to the Topic Analysis helpsheet.

Focus ideas

Now that you have expanded your understanding of the topic through research and reading, refine how you will respond to the topic. Write the main points you want to make, and the evidence you will use to support them.

Edit draft

Check your writing for a logical flow of ideas, and clarity of information. Imagine you are a reader with limited understanding of the topic. Consider the word count, and cut out unnecessary words, such as ‘very’.
