5 Steps on How To Write an Effective Write-up

One of the greatest challenges for students these days is writing. It is a waterloo for many since less and less students are engaged to reading which is essentially needed to be able to write a good-read article. 

Up until today, I never have forgotten the technique taught by our adviser in our school publication back in high school. It was just a simple and very common word - POWER. I never thought that this word contained the steps to improve my writings when I was still in the process of learning.

P is for PLAN. The very basic for everything. An effective write-up is made from a well-planned flow of ideas that is why this step is very essential for beginners. Don't just immediately write what you want to stay or it will end up that your write-up would be going around the bush revolving around one and the same thought per paragraph. In this step, all you need to do is list all your ideas that should be relevant to your main idea. It could either be a word or a phrase. Take this for example.

O is for ORGANIZE. Once you have lay down your ideas, its time to organize them which means you need to arrange them in an order that will make it easy for your readers to understand. Arrange your ideas in sequential order based on its complexity or simplicity, meaning simple ideas should come first to be able to make it easy for your reader to understand your complex ideas.

W is for WRITE. Remember that the basic parts are a must for beginner writers. For the introduction, you may start off with a quote from a famous person, an anecdote, a question, or a fact about your main topic. Always remember that you should make this part striking, shocking, and attention grabbing. This is where you motivate your readers to read more.

The body should be the meaty part. You should always start with a topic sentence and then the discussion follows. the discussion should support your topic sentence. In the case of our example about grammar. You can start that, "Knowing the purpose of nouns, pronouns, verbs, and adjectives are essential to know when to use them." Then, one by one explain their usage. You can create multiple paragraphs in this part just utilize the structure I have explained.

The conclusion part should encapsulate your write-up. Conclusions usually goes back to the introduction part to answer the question, to affirm or negate the quote or even fact you've stated, or to explain the anecdote very briefly. You can have other styles though. Basically, it contains the basic purpose why you are writing this kind of topic.

E is for EDIT. After you've written your draft. Read and reread your write-up for grammar errors. You could let someone read it for you. Remember that punctuation marks and prepositions should be properly used and spellings as well as subject-verb agreements should be double checked. Don't rely too much on the corrections made by any word application.

R is for REWRITE. So you'll probably not going to need this if you are typing. For traditional writers, this is a must to be able to have a clean output of your write-up. Modern writers have their useful gadgets with them. 

Remember always that writing to be essentially effective to readers, you need to have P.O.W.E.R. Learning is fun if you are passionate about it. So if you want to write, this tip will always be handy
