Narrative/Persuasive Pre-Writing to Writing Process

 

Follow this process when writing your narrative or persuasive assignments.

 

Prewriting: Plan your writing by thinking about the topic and your purpose. Are you explaining or arguing a point of view? A narrative piece requires you to describe in order. Persuasive writing requires you to first state your point of view, then tell why you think it is correct and present facts to support your opinion.

 

1. Identifying – Choose the main elements you wish to write about. There should not be more than three.

2. Drafting – Jot your ideas down in rough form.

3. Revising – Change and improve the rough draft. Get rid of unnecessary parts. Add important material based on your writing goal – to explain or defend.

4. Proofreading – Correct any errors in spelling, punctuation, and clarity. Care should be taken to make the writing communicate clearly.

5. Publishing – After final editing, finish the writing and make it available for others to read. Edit your piece one more time before you rewrite (publish it) for the audience to read.

CAD Day 5: Critical Writing – Narrative

 

Critical Writing:

The LMJ Group has been in the Lawrence family for 45 years. While they design and build technologically advanced office buildings, not all the senior partners have adopted CAD. Jack Lawrence, who only knows how to use a drafting board, has asked for your help. “Get me up to speed on CAD,” he said. “The Company has just purchased a new computer system and would like to move the hand drafting operations to CAD.” Mr. Lawrence expects you to be their consultant and help him draft a multi-view project using a CAD system.

 

From your knowledge of AutoSketch, and the capabilities this CAD program has, you are to develop a two-part plan. First, you will describe the benefits of using CAD to complete a multi-view drawing using AutoSketch. In part two, you will list the procedures that would allow a rookie like Mr. Lawrence to figure out AutoSketch. Remember that this is only a WRITTEN SUMMARY of how you would explain the capabilities of AutoSketch.

 

Here is what the LMJ Group needs to see:

 

1. A description of the benefits of CAD, especially for multi-view project drawings; and,

2. Instructions for using the program.
