Chelsea B's Drafting Your Document Correctly

In the workplace there are higher standards to which we are all held and must strive for. There is a professionalism that requires we put more effort into our documents than merely one draft and then, boom, you’re done. Drafting is the nonlinear process that allows us to create the first version of our work with majority, if not all of its parts. When writing a draft it is key we include the following:

*All parts of document- front matter, body, and end matter
*A strong statement of purpose
*Logical, Concise support
*Strong Conclusions

The first line of attack would be to draft the body, the primary part of the document. There is no particular length to strive for as much clear, concise coverage of the information you need. Clear topic sentences are a must as well as noted focal points of each section.
Next, it’s good to write up the conclusion. Here you include a summary of the information, analytic predictions, recommendations for the reader, and a personal judgment.
The Intro is the last part to write and definitely most important, this is what reader’s remember most. Here you should include:

*Purpose/Objective
*Scope
*Statement of Problem
*Relevant Info/Background
*Key Terms
*Overview of Organization
*Summary

I know it may seem like a lot to accomplish, but don’t worry, it’s only the first draft!
