Pre-Writing and First Drafts

Presented by The Writing Centre and the Fred Smithers Centre

One of the hardest parts of the writing process is finding the direction of your paper and getting started. In this session, we will discuss the 40:20:40 rule, and take a step-by-step approach to workshop your paper. Additionally, The Fred Smithers Centre will provide accessibility tips for paper-writing aimed at diverse learning styles.

By the end of this session, you will have a near-complete essay outline and a deeper understanding of methods for creating research topics, thesis statements, understanding paragraph structure and function, and integrating evidence to support your claims.

Location: Zoom
