Writing to Task

As soon as you receive your instructions, read them carefully

Diarise the due date and plan your writing process leaving plenty of time

Plan time for

• Research
• Outline
• First draft (write freely
• P A U S E
• Re-write (re-organise; trim excess)
• Edit (grammar + punctuation; structure + flow)
• Proofread (attention to detail)

When researching, keep full details of sources to cite

Outline: use headings to structure your work logically

Following rough headings, write your thoughts [keep track of citations]

Remember the purpose of your task: are you adhering to the format & audience?

Re-write

• Introduction: set out purpose
• Body: each paragraph adds to the one before (don't look back!)
• Body: each paragraph links to the next
• Conclusion: what is the answer to the issue posed in the introduction

Edit with an eye to logic, spelling, grammar, punctuation

Have you cited all your sources (per AGLC style)?

Proofread - always check your work, and check it again
