Blog Post 14: Thoughts on Drafting

This was also in the week's summary, but I'm posting the prompt here again. 

Now that you’ve actually started the project, reflect back on the act of working on putting a draft together for your peers. For context, doing this exercise is going to help prepare you to conduct peer review.


In writing your draft, you were asked to think critically about the book’s advice on:
  • Drafting a Thesis Statement 
  • Writing paragraphs in PIE format 
  • Writing introductions 
  • Organizing information 
  • Writing conclusions 
Review that Student’s Guide reading (pages 49-58), as well as the 5 example QRGs linked on the Project #1 Breakdown.

Title your blog post “Thoughts on Drafting” and in your blog post, provide meaningful and developed answers to the following questions: 

  1. What parts of the book’s advice on the above bulleted topics are helpful for writing in this genre? 
  2. What parts of the book’s advice on these topics might not be so helpful, considering the genre you’re writing in?
