In the past decade the writing process was defined as three steps. 1) Prewriting 2) writing 3) rewriting but Murray change these three words to be 1) prevision 2) vision 3) revision.

Discovery meant to be inventive and have high imagination in writing, while Ignorance means almost the opposite meaning of Discovery

The process that Murray is talking about is the way in which we view the world, how we feel about it and how we convey that through language.  We also invent the world through our perception of it. While the product is a traditional approach, in which students are encouraged to mimic a model text.

Internal revision is everything writers do to discover and develop what they have to say, beginning with the reading of a completed first draft.  They read to discover where their content, form, language, and voice have led them…The audience is one person

External revision is what writers do to communicate what they have found to another audience…They eye their audience and may choose to appeal to it.  They read as an outsider.

1. Murray defined writing as a process using language to discover a meaning in experience and to communicate it, also he  defined writing as a rewriting process. Murray explained that today many writers are getting away with “one-word drafts” and how they are no longer revising and revising their work. He referred to the needed of the three processes (prevision, vision and revision) of writing.

2. Discover: to write in order to understand as much as you be understood. Discover is like a vision discovery draft. By completing this vision of what may be said, the writer stakes out of a territory to explore. Murray states that exploration begins with a prevision, next is the vision and finally revision which is ourselves going over our work and editing or altering till we feel it is complete. Ignorance: what writers feel about what they write. They often feel embarrassed and think others will not like what they wrote about. 

3. Process is when writers used their best capabilities to generate ideas for done their first draft of writing. Product is when writers using what they have done on their process and work on it to product a pure writing or as a final draft. 

4. Internal Revision is to review all work that a writer have done on first draft and figure out or edit ideas or. External Revision is when a writer proofreading his writing and read it as audience in order to understand how the ideas will be shown to the audiences when they read.

5. Murray means by the “content”, “form and structure”, “language” is that any writer has to have a meaning, or goal for his/her writing to deliver it to the audience in a complete and understood format.

Terrible.

I Followed Steven’s recipe for sculpture to like.. the EXACT detail. I found a picture of this dog i thought it was cute, so i decided to follow his instructions. It came out NOTHING like it was supposed to. The instructions were not exact, and i think certain parts need clarification. I’m only giving it one star because my girlfriend could tell it was a dog by looking at it. Save your time, look elsewhere for this info.

• Rewriting is an important part of the writing process for Donald Murray. Murray quoted Neil Simon’s analogy of rewriting process and I think this quote tells us how he defines the writing: “rewriting is when playing writing really gets to be fun … in baseball you only get three swings and you are out. In rewriting, you get almost as many swings as you want and you know, sooner or later, you will hit the ball.” Murray’s process of writing has three format: prevision, vision, and revision. The writers can in fact find themselves via writing – a journey of discovery. Teachers should teach students how to discover themselves through the creative art of writing.
• The process of discovery of using language to find out what you are going to say is a key part of the writing process. However, discovery can be very scary process, this process can take you inside yourself. As per Murray writers have to protect their ignorance, writing is a journey of discovery.
• Product can be finalized written piece which, went through all the stages of writing vs. process. Process can be where the writer starts from brainstorming to rewriting, also going through the three stages: prevision, vision, revision.
• In internal revision writer acts like a scientist with a piece of experiment, where he/she writes anything just to start then, the whole process goes on such as language, form and context. External revision includes proofreading, editing. 
• The first important aspect of the internal revision is content. Writers should have an abundance of information during the process through research and brainstorming. An extremely significant element of language is that form and content are the writers’ voice.

Internal revision: A process of discovery

1. Murray defines the writing process as rewriting. It has the purpose of discovering visions.
2. Murray means exploring, unknown streams of information when he uses the term discovery. He means not prejudging the fluent disbursal of words used in writing, when using the term ignorance.
3. Product is defined as writing in a genre. Whereas, process is defined as prevision, vision and revision, staging meaning into the form and structure of writing.
4. Internal revision refers to the reflection upon the writing, to find meaning. External revision refers to rewriting, to build form and structure.
5. Murray meant, “content” was vision; “form and structure” was process and product ; “language” is the vocabulary that a writer draws, to illustrate vision into form and structure.

1. How does Murray define writing? What is its purpose?

Writing is rewriting until you “hit the goal.” The “final product” of a writing usually goes through many drafts before it is put out into the world to be read. Writing cannot just have one draft and call it a day. To be at its best, it suggested that it goes through revision and rewriting process.

2. Talk about what Murray means when he uses terms like “discovery” and “ignorance.”

When Murray mentions discovery, he talks about the way he writes. Rather than writing about a research, he writes it as if he was included in the research. Through writing, the writer is able to connect other words of information to those they write about. They will be able to write through their own ways with different uses of words to describe their piece of work. As for ignorance, writers will go through the oblivious to what they are doing at the moment and too focused on the future.

3. What is “product” vs. “process”?

The process tends to be long depending how fair a writer want to go until the reach the perfection writing. The product is usually the end product that is showcased to people presenting the idea of the writer.

4. What is “internal revision”? What is “external revision?”

Internal revision is when all the ideas are written down with the intentions to be narrowed down to find the ideal topic to go deep in detail. The reviser is themselves. External revision is with a different audience that offers a different opinion compared to theirs in order to find the right language, form and voice.

5. Explain, in your own words, what Murray means by the following: “content,” “form and structure,” “language.”

Content is where the new/old information come in that could be used to back up the writer’s purpose of the writing piece. The form and structure is the formating the bring the reader from start to end rather than throwing random points at different points. With formation allows the reader to understand and grasp the point better. As for language, it is the style that the writer use to demonstrate their piece. They could bring in new words to experiment with the way they approach their point or connecting them to other words to strengthen a point.
