Writing. (Chapter 16)

If possible, have the students write the first draft quickly in class. Then ask them to take that

home and tighten it up. Request that both the first and second drafts be submitted to you.

Reproduce some of the more successful attempts at tightening writing style through

good use of parallelism; discuss them with the class.

Some students may not want to produce two versions of the same paragraph, but you

can assure them that most people —even very experienced and skilled authors — use this

method of improving their writing. Revision with an eye toward conciseness is an essential

process in producing good writing in English.
