Summary
Anyone can be a writer! In this BrainPOP movie, Tim and Moby take you through the writing process step by step. You’ll learn why you should choose a topic you’re familiar with, how to come up with ideas about that topic, and how to turn those ideas into a rough draft. You’ll discover what goes on when you revise a draft and when it’s a good idea to read your work out loud - not to mention who you might be able to get to listen! Finally, you’ll learn how to make sure your work is error-free and ready for publishing. Too bad we can’t help you find an agent!
