Lesson 105
The Writing Process: PresentingWhen you have completed a piece of writing, you may decide to present your
work to others. How you will present your writing depends on the audience you
selected during prewriting and the nature of the material.
An outlet for presenting your writing to a specific audience is called a market.
Many different markets are available to sixth-grade students. Among these are
school newspapers and classroom presentations; community groups, newspapers,
and radio stations; local and national contests; and magazines that feature the
work of young people. The Market Guide for Young Writers,available in many
libraries, can give you some ideas for marketing your work.
To decide how to present your piece, analyze your audience; then search for an
outlet that serves that audience. Some outlets, such as radio programs or speech
contests, offer a chance for oral presentation. In these cases, visual aids may add
to your presentation.Exercise 1 Suggest an outlet or market for each piece of writing described below.
