Writing Your First Draft



Once you have devised a thesis statment and planned a strategy of development, writing your first draft is not difficult. Expand on each paragraph so that it explains, illustrates and defends the topic sentece. Be sure to add transitional expressions for coherence and logical clarity.

Good writing emerges from revisions. Read your draft over many times for logical order, unity, and consistency. You want to ensure that each paragraph supports your thesis and each sentence develops the paragraph topic. Critically read your work, ask yourself if statements are sufficiently supported with enough evidence

On a computer, save successive revisions in separate files, make backup copies. I can’t even begin to tell you how frustrating it is to lose a document that you’ve spent hours on. Make sure you make backup copies.
