how do you do a simple rough draft for 7th grade?
146828
in the first paragraph, introduce the piece. make a brief statement about everything you will cover.include a thesis statment, or a sentence that sums up the whole piece. you should have at least 5 paragraphs. in the middle paragraphsm go over specific parts of what you are trying to say in great detail. example-if you are writing about a musical, you might have one paragraoph where you explain the plot, one for actors, one for songs, etc. in your conclusion, you should remind your reader of everything they learned and repeat the thesis in slightly different words.

I agree with the poster who said make sure you have things written down.  You didin't explain how old your child is or what type of problem you are having, so this might not even apply.\n\nMy daughter had a problem when she was in seventh grade.  She never did learn cursive writing (still hasn't learned it and she now has an undergraduate degree with a double major and is working on a masters).  In 7th grade her teacher held her work up in class one day to show all the examples of what NOT to do in a writing assignment.  Then he went on and told the next class about it as well when someone came back into class and said that my daughter was crying in the washroom - he explained to them why she was probably crying. He also made a sarcastic comment to her as she was leaving that day and she made a nasty comment back to him then.  She was in tears when she got home and very upset.\n\nMy response to her was that she needed to write a letter to the principal and explain what happened and why she was upset.  I told her she needed to give the teacher a copy of the letter because you can't make a complaint about someone in writing without giving them  a copy.  Her letter was two pages long.  The end result was that the teacher had to apologize to my daughter.  \n\nSo my advice is be diplomatic and follow sensible channels.  Be calm.  Put things in writing if they are not resolved with the usual contacts.  If your child is old enough (by fourth grade they can usually state their case quite well) make sure the child is involved in stating the case and the problem.  If there is a meeting my preference would be to have the child there and let him explain what is wrong.\n\nIf necessary get the principal involved.  Hopefully you won't have to take it beyond the principal.  Most principals want a peaceful school and like ot get issues resolved.\n\nI hope this helps.

Try to get it done after you get home from school so it's done and out of the way. You should always use legible writing.

This'll be a great help:\n\nRead the story and take notes on all the characters, what they're like, etc. Then take a different section of notes on their opinions. If you want, take additional notes on age, related to whom, and friends with whom. Then, when you get projects like this, all you have to do is skim through a few notes and not the whole book.

Use an outline. Ask anyone who knows anything about Rome how and then your essay will be organized, trust me, all you need is an outline. It looks like but isn't extra work, it's help..

Start with brainstorming, then clustering, and finally the formal I, II, III kind of outline. The more precise and complete your outline is, the easier it will be to write the paper. If you do it right, the paper will seem to write itself.

I am attaching a link to an essay writing  tutorial to help you.  <click the below link>\n\nHave you ever heard of Brainstorming.  It is a technique to get most of your ideas about your subject on paper.\n\nChoose your subject.\nBrain storm.\nThen determine how detailed your paper will be.\nThen take each one of your brain storm ideas and make a paragraph about them.\n\nEvery Paper has \n\n1. a title, \n2. an Intro paragraph intrucing the subject\n3  at least 2-3 body paragraphs describing the subject &\n4. a summary paragraph \n\nSome tips are to: \n• Write in a Clear Style \n \n• Use active verbs \n \n• Keep your sentence length under control \n \n• Use simple words  \n \n• Avoid jargon \n \n• Avoid abstract terms \n \n• Keep abbreviations under control \n \n• Avoid Padding \n \n• Use topic sentences \n \n• Link your ideas and paragraphs \n \n• Use examples to explain difficult points \n \n• Use quotations in your writing \n\n\nYou will do just fine when you dou your best.

It depends on what kind of writing you are talking about. If it is handwriting, it is just a matter of practice. If it is creating sentence structure, you might try going to the library and asking the librarian what you need. They have books on writing from grade school through college and alot of them simplified. If it is writing style, I use a little book my college english teacher recommended called The Pocket Handbook by Kirszner and Mandell. It seems overwhelming when you first look at it, but if you actually take the time to read it, it is pretty simple and straight forward. It indicates MLA style. For other styles, Spark has cheater charts at barnes and nobles for $5 that are quick and easy to use. It is all cut down to common sense, no frills. I don't have advice for the web, but I hope these things can help. =)

well, the old fashioned way would be to study it and practice writing and using it, i dont know how they do things in school these days but i assume that studying isnt involved.

Make a list of everything you have the right to do and a list of everything you must get permission to do. Something in those lists will click your writing imagination. NO one can tell you what to write because if they do you only have the first step of the writing process. You must be confident in your own work to make the grade.

I just took a college adolescent literature class and learned lots of fun things.  Is your assignment to do a creative book report?  I had to do 3 of them.  On one I used the "Real story of the Three Little Pigs".  I did a puppet show.  It was fun to do but took quite a bit of time.  I also did a book box once.  You read a story, I used "The Whipping Boy", and put 5 or so things in a box, or container from the story.  I used a basket for my container and put a loaf of bread, a crown, a Mr. Potato Head and a few other things in it.  You will have to read the book to understand.  The last one I did was the sequel to "Holes", "Small Steps".  I made a poster filled with clip art pictures from the computer of things from the book and called it an I Spy.  Then I cut out the letters for small steps and glued over the items.  It is meant to be a creative way to tell about a book you read instead of the boring old writing of a two page book report.  The thing to remember is to pick a book you like and have fun.

Each day, read 14 pages an hour for 10 hour.  Then spend 1 hour writing an outline of the pages you just read.  Repeat for 3 days.  Then summarize the combined outlines and flesh it out into a 5-page report.\n\nOr, you can hang around the internet looking for shortcuts.

These journals use a standard method, generally the MLA Standard.  Do a web search for MLA Standard, and you will get lots of help.
