WORD TIPS
John: Nora, what are you doing? What are these notes about?
Nora: Well, they are for a 1000- word essay on abuse of the elderly, due Monday.
John: That's a big topic. What made you decide to write about that subject?
Nora: Granny's going into a nursing home. And this essay is driving me crazy.
John: Narrow down the topic. Pick one aspect, like nursing homes. Do an outline.
Nora: You mean list the ideas under headings: Introduction, Body, and the Conclusion?
John: Yes. ______________________________1______________________________
Nora: Then maybe in the Body I can explain how the owners try to save money on food and care.
John: Right. Here I see a good quotation: " Nursing home abuse is a national epidemic."
Nora: ______________________________2______________________________
John: ______________________________3______________________________
Nora: Then, I think I can summarize the main ideas about the helpless elderly in the Conclusion.
John: Good. When you've written a first draft, read it aloud to eliminate awkward spots.
Nora: I'm feeling a lot better about this essay and a lot less worried about Granny now.
John: The essay is a piece of cake; but ensuring Granny's OK is a lot harder.
