What change should the student have made to the writing process?
Read the description a student gave about how he wrote
his research paper.
First, I analyzed the prompt to determine what my topic
was going to be. I formulated a research plan and
schedule and then wrote my research question. Then I
found valid sources to use in my research and began
learning about my topic. I organized what I found and
wrote my draft, making sure to cite my sources. Finally, I
edited it for grammar, structure, and readability.
The research plan and schedule should have been
written after the research questions.
O Analyzing the prompt should have happened after the
research plan had been created.
Organizing the draft should have happened after
editing for grammar and structure.
O Finding sources and researching should have been
done before writing the research question.
