The QUICK WRITING PROCESS Model |
Here is the QUICK WRITING PROCESS model as we have developed it through the first part of this book. | A. | Preparation. The writer's point of view on the question posed; his or her relationship to the reader; the writer's own commitment. | | B. | Timetable. From planning the process to completing the final product. | | C. | Plan of overall structure. The intrinsic characteristics of beginning, middle, other side, and conclusion. | | D. | Provisional thesis. The writer's commitment as a challenge to I the reader. | | E. | Because-clauses. Completing and supporting the thesis, and generating the other side. | | F. | Analysis of because-clauses. Selecting the best material for the argument, and for developing the conclusion. | | G. | Analysis and integration of the other side. Extending the provisional thesis to include an "although-clause." | | H. | Argument-outline. Arranging the best material in the best order. | | I. | Full introduction. The amplified thesis incorporating the other side, and the main ideas in the sequence of the argumentoutline. | | J. | Filling in the raw draft, and first cuts. For internal coherence and consistency. | | K. | Feedback. What works and what does not work for a reader. | | | L. | Second reading: improving the roughly final draft. Overall unity: powerful transitions, integrated examples, a polished introduction, a conclusion that gives the reader a new perspective. Vital language. | | | M. | Proofreading the final draft. | | | N. | A writing policy. Integrating new knowledge into the writer's version of QUICK WRITING PROCESS. | |
