The
Rough Draft The
preparation you put into this paper will now pay off. What is expected of you
should be easy, assuming you've done your preparation. Facing the blank page is
daunting but you already have an idea of where to start from your outline.
Instructions:
-
Assemble your notes according to the layout of your outline.
Group them together or pile them up - whatever best works visually for you.
-
If you do not have enough note cards to sufficiently support
each major and minor point of your developed argument, you still need to do more
research.
-
What you are looking at is the BODY of your paper. Read the page
on that NOW.
-
Read the information via the links below.
-
START WRITING!
-
The majority of what you write will be YOUR VOICE, sharing your
expertise, reflection and opinion of the subject.
-
If you are having trouble coming up with something to write, you
still have more research to do!
-
After you have developed a couple pages, at minimum, for the
body, read the pages about the INTRODUCTION and CONCLUSION.
-
INTRO
-
How will you attract the reader's attention?
-
Did you mention your main points in advance?
-
Where will you place your thesis?
-
CONCLUSION
The following links address bad habits and unforeseen problems
associated with writing the rough draft. USE THEM TO YOUR ADVANTAGE.
You have time in class to do this but I advise you to
make time outside of class as well. Don't forget to use our old friends,
brainstorming and clustering if you run into a writer's block!
