Preparation Hints
Make an outline of all major points–support with details in their proper position
Use short, concise sentences and paragraphs Say exactly what you intend to say–do not leave the
reader “grasping” for more information Select working that is consistent with the
background and knowledge of the reader Rewrite and rewrite–this will force you to remove
clutter and critically evaluate the document for errors
