Chapter 1 is bout Generating ideas and making a plan for your paper. The first thing you should do is figure out the situation your writing for. This includes the subject of your writing, the purpose of the paper, who you are writing the paper for, and were you gathered you info from. Most time you are assigned a subject but when you are able to choose your own be sure to choose a subject that interest you. You should try to get your information from personal experience, reading or daily observations. Wherever you get your information from make sure you write so the reader understands what you saying or describing( always assume you reader knows nothing on the subject) A very important part of the writing process is figuring out the purpose . the purpose of you paper can directly effect the format of your writing are you writing to inform, persuade or entertain it is important to distinguish between the different purposes. One of the most important things is realizing who your writing writing for. By doing this you can make sure to keep the reader interested you don't want to loose the attention of your reader. Making sure you reach the needs of your reader and keep them interested and curious. Once you've done this you can do a freewrite to brainstorm ideas and form a thesis. Now that you have you ideas you can organize them into a outline the out line will help you organize these thoughts and ideas into paragraphs and then into a paper.
I plan to use a lot of what I read in my writing. I think the biggest thing I need to work on is identifying my subject, audience and purpose of my writing. If I start focusing on that more I think it will put a more specific purpose to my paper and make it more direct. Also I need to not assume that my audience knows as much as I do on the subject.
