Get ideas down and THEN revise. This is a brainstorm.
Choose the right word: be specific. Test to see if the sentence is “true”. Ask yourself (and each other)questions about word choice.
Be ready to discover relationships.
When introducing a key word, define other keywords after you define it. Try to define as many key words as you think a reader might need to know (think about writing to a specific person).
Make your writing more “concrete’ by giving examples.
When we give a fact, we refer to a source. We don’t always need to “cite” the source (meaning, we don’t always need to create direct quote).
If you do cite a source, you must give an “in-text citation.” This means referring to the source correctly in quotes.
When you quote, you must paraphrase the quote immediately afterward. Then, you can analyze the quote by explaining its importance.
