Drafting

Drafting

When writing a draft I start with a thesis statement and bullet point the main topic of each body paragraph. Once I have the main supporting ideas for my paper I outline the details and examples I will incorporate in each paragraph. To outline a conclusion, I write a concluding statement that relates back to the thesis of the paper.

After making a clear outline I begin to free write to make a rough draft. I usually write several different thesis statements and figure out which fits best into the paper after I have written more of my body paragraphs. In the introduction I briefly state the topic and supporting points. I continue my free write with writing topic sentences for each or my body paragraphs. I support my body paragraphs with detailed descriptions and examples. I then tie the paragraph back to the main idea and transition to the next topic.
