Today for English 103, I was to read more chapters from The Norton Guide Book to Writing. These chapters were designed to help you get started on a writing and they also included many things in which could be included in the writing. It first talks about writing drafts and the importance of setting a deadline so you are not waiting until the last minute to write the entire thing. That not only rushes you, it also doesn't allow your mind to explore all the possibilities as it would if you first jotted ideas down on paper. Description was also discussed. It is very important for your writing to contain as many details possible. You want the reader to be able to picture what is happening. When writing, it is very useful to use sequencing such as chronological order, reverse chronological order, or flashback. One other thing discussed was dialogue. Dialouge is who you bring other's words into your writing. This allows your writing to provide visuals instead of just being told about them.
