1101 drafting questions





1st draft (focus): The first draft should be more or less a freewrite on the topic for the paper assignment. Let the ideas flow. However, the writer may already have a specific focus. If so, this is fine. The first workshopping session will concentrate on helping the reader narrow/find the focus of the paper.

3rd draft (editing): The third session should concentrate on editing and sentence level issues. Remember, some of these issues are the sorts of things that can cost the writer as much as ten points.
