Pre-writing/Drafting Strategies

Academic Support sessions - SUMMER 2022

Workshop 2: Pre-writing/Drafting Strategies 

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, the development of an argument and supporting ideas. At 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.
