How to Write a Draft
How do I Write a Draft?
Now - that you have decided on a topic, before you can start writing your first draft, you need to identify your audience and purpose for writing.
For example, your audience could be fourth grader and your purpose could be to inform.
Identify your audience and purpose is important because there will be differences in the language and structure. For instance, suppose you had to write two essays on stereotyping.
Your audience for the first essay is fourth graders; your audience for the second essay is adults.
The differences in the two essays would be the language used and the types of examples you can effectively use.
For fourth graders, you have to use simpler language, and use more vivid, descriptive examples.
The essay for the fourth graders would also be shorter, due to their age and attention span.

Tips & Warnings
• Remember - there are different types and purposes of texts.
They are:
1. Narrative writing –
This type of writing describes one of your experiences. It is written from the first person point of view using words like "I" and "me."
2. Expository writing –
This type of writing is informative; it explains. Some examples of expository writing are giving directions and showing how to do something.
3. Persuasive writing -
This type of writing gives the writer's opinion on a topic. It tries to get the reader to agree with the writer.
4. Descriptive Writing -
This type of writing describes a person, place, thing, or idea.
Use Strong Verbs and Vivid Language Using strong verbs and vivid language to convey meaning helps to create visual images of what is happening in the story. It makes your writing more descriptive. Examples: She was crying. She was bawling at the top of her lungs. Bawling is the stronger verb because it lets you know that she had a loud, bellowing cry. Plus, "at the top of her lungs" further adds to the image.
