Writing Tips
Write about something you enjoy – if you are not enjoying what you are writing about the reader can tell!
Organize your thoughts before you write – make an OUTLINE of what you are going to write about. This helps you put your thoughts in logical order and tells you what research you need to complete. DO NOT do this last minute! Writing is a process and editing takes time.
**You will do an outline for me and it is worth 25 points!**
Never underestimate the power of simple words. Do NOT over-use your thesaurus. Many people will do this – be careful! Using “big” misplaced words can make your writing choppy and break up your reader’s concentration. Sometimes saying it simply is best! Which one holds your attention better?
“It was a great class. I learned a lot of valuable information.”
VERSUS
“The program was stupendous and provided immense opportunity for engaging my colleagues in banter on numerous topics of consequence. I was pedantic in my studies and this manufactured an astonishingly engaging atmosphere for scholarship.”
BUT do make your writing come alive – edit your work and see where you can do this - close your eyes and listen to this quote:
“Don't tell me the moon is shining; show me the glint of light on broken glass.”
― Anton Chekhov
Make sure you use words or transitional sentences to tell your reader where you are going and what you are telling them next – it helps your reader stay engaged – and helps your teachers grade your work.
Example: “There are three major challenges that the President is confronting this year. First…., Second… Finally….
Vary your sentence length. It keeps your readers engaged if every so often you have some nice, short sentences. It wakes your reader up and keeps them moving.
6. PROOFREAD. Write it, put it down for 24 hours, read it out loud to yourself. Double check your spell check (i.e. there and their – too, two, and to).
Read your paper out loud to yourself to make sure it flows.
8. Make sure your grammar and punctuation are PERFECT. Making silly mistakes makes your reader lose faith in your arguments. Presentation is important!
Read your paper and do a “Search and Find” for the words this, that, and these. Determine if you can take those words out – a lot of times they are extra words and you can remove them and clean up your writing and make it “crisper.”
10. CITE YOUR SOURCES!
When should you cite a source?
When you quote two or more words verbatim or even one word if it is unique to a source. (Example: “Let’s Roll!”)
When you introduce facts to your reader that are not common knowledge you need to cite to something.
When you paraphrase ideas, conclusions, discussions from a source – even though it .
