Prepwork for Homework: brainstorming

What do I already know about my own writing process?
I always create an outline, a reference page, quote page, and a rough draft.  I re-read and re-edit this draft a good 5 times and hand it off to someone else to edit.  After receiving feedback, I complete a final draft.  I usually need to work in one sitting if possible and for longer papers/writings I need LARGE chunks of time in order to be productive.  I am easily distracted if I do not have much time to commit to writing...with a constant "to do list" (like everyone) I cannot concentrate if I could be accomplishing 3 smaller tasks in that same 30 minutes.

What kinds of audiences have I written for?  In what genres have I written?
-  business letters
-  current employers
-  first person
-  third person
-  fictional
-  compare/contrast
-  persuasive
-  inner-monologue
-  essay
- poetry
- speech
-  debate
-  lesson plan
-  research papers
-  short story
-  picture book
-  brochure/newsletter
-  timeline
-  News article
-  artist critique
-  artist statement
-  comic strip
-  digital presentations
-  Interviews
-  worksheets/tests/surveys
-  resume
-  proposal


Audiences:  peers, loved ones, public, people above me (bosses), classes/teachers, self, potential employers, debates, newspaper (high school), etc.


Questions I have about writing research?

How many sources should be used on average?


Is there a standard formula or traditional layout that is used?

Are there rules and regulations for this type of paper?


How would I like to spread my research?
I would like this research to spread by putting it into action within the 4 high schools of the North Kansas City Public School district.
