The drafting stage is also called a sloppy copy.

  • Take your ideas and write them into sentences and paragraphs.
  • Do not worry about grammar, spelling, or punctuation.

Before writing your draft, watch the video below. 

On your assignment template, you will find a place to write your first draft. Don't worry about errors. You will have a chance to revise and edit this draft. Go write your draft.

Then, submit your planning and draft in the Description: Prewriting and Draft dropbox. After your teacher gives you feedback on this step, you can continue to the next step.
