Let's Write!
IF YOU'RE NEW TO THIS SECTION of the site,
you'll need to surf around awhile to get a sense of what's
available. Once you're familiar with the writing strategies
overall, you can use the QUICK TRICK TABLE
to get to any strategy directly.
For maximum effectiveness, USE the strategies to
develop a writing project you are working on, for example, a COMM
212 assignment. As with any acquired skill, proficiency comes
with PRACTICE.
These strategies are a selection of the most
popular ones experienced writers rely on to get the job done.
Feel free to adapt them in whatever way works for you. And
remember, you can use any of them at any point in the process as
needed. You'll also find links to exciting websites, and to
relevant pages in your COMM 212 text book. If you have some other
favourite strategies that work especially well, or if you
discover a useful website not included here, please email them to me and I'll add
them to the site. I'll also share 
tips along the way to help make the whole process
more efficient.
If
you find it difficult to force yourself to work on your own, try
organizing a classmate or two into a writing group. Group support
helps a lot if you're unused to this kind of proactive approach
to writing.
WRITING FOR THE WEB
If you're
having great difficulty with any aspect of the writing process,
you can contact The Writing Centre
for some personal attention. But don't wait until the last
minute; they're very busy - especially around end of term!
So let's get started!
