  1. Hello, writers.
  2. Welcome to writing workshop today.
  3. We're doing sessions, then rehearsing for writing by teaching writers.
  4. Remember what we've learned about story writers?
  5. So we said that story writer is rehearsed for their
  6. writing, and they tell their story over and over to
  7. their listener, trying to make it better even before they
  8. put a word onto the page.
  9. Same is true with our information writers.
  10. Information writers rehearse they're writing to Yeah, a new information
  11. writer Rights toe to teach.
  12. That's the main thing that you're doing when you as
  13. an information writer, you are writing to teach.
  14. So what?
  15. It's one way to rehearse is by teaching your topic
  16. right. If you can teach your topic well, then you
  17. can write.
  18. You can write it well.
  19. So today.
  20. Writers, I want to teach you that you can get
  21. ready to write a chapter by teaching the topic or
  22. pretend to teach.
  23. But first you have to think about who are your
  24. readers or your students will be in what will specially
  25. interest them.
  26. Then you teach or pretend to teach your topic.
  27. So by doing this reader writers, you rehearse for your
  28. writing. So let's practice so Are you ready?
  29. So let's do this practice.
  30. So let's think about this one first before we practice.
  31. So a writer keeps the reader in mind, just like
  32. a teacher keeps the student in mind.
  33. So let's say, for example, I am writing about a
  34. book about phone APS.
  35. Okay, so first I'm going to to think about my
  36. audience, right?
  37. That's the first step.
  38. So if I'm going to teach about a new phone
  39. up, I have to think about who are my audience.
  40. So if I'm teaching this to kids like you, maybe
  41. I can write about phone APS that will help you
  42. with your homework or with your research right.
  43. However, if I'm also thinking about, let's say my audience
  44. are like the grand parents, right?
  45. Like our grandmother or grandfather, and I know that they're
  46. not really very deck savvy.
  47. So maybe I can start with the basics with this.
  48. So maybe I can start by, you know, teaching them
  49. the step by step way of downloading a nap, and
  50. then later I can also talk about how you can
  51. use the app to look at photos off their grandchildren.
  52. Okay, so did you notice what I did.
  53. So the first thing I did was to think about
  54. my audience.
  55. If my audience, our kids, then I have to make
  56. sure that the topic that I'm going or the information
  57. that I'm going to put in my chapter is gonna
  58. be off this, You know, that interests of those kids.
  59. And then if I'm talking about grand parents or to
  60. the old people, then I have toe make sure that
  61. the information that I'm going to write on that chapter
  62. will in ties the old people.
  63. Right. So it's time to rehearse.
  64. So when you rehearse by teaching that chapter to any
  65. person, so you need to rehearse, you practice this by
  66. teaching it to any person, or you can also pretend
  67. teaching it okay, Just like in your mind, you can
  68. pretend doing that.
  69. But before I let you rehearse, remember, Number one is
  70. I want you to first think off who will be
  71. your audience.
  72. And then from there you can start rehearsing.
  73. What you're going to write on your first chapter.
  74. Okay, So are you ready to do this work?
  75. All right.
  76. Sounds good.
  77. Off you go.
