Road Map to Writing

Today's reading from chapters 28 and 29 in our English book, the Norton Field Guide to Writing, were about the importance of setting up our writing. We should have a strong opening to grab our reader's attention and a great ending to keep them interested. Having a clear beginning and end also helps our reader stayed focused and wanting to read more.

Another thing that helps when we are writing is to give the reader an idea of what they will be reading about. Setting up a guideline or a "map" will help the reader decide if they are interested in beginning the paper as well as help them along while reading it. The "map" will help them in-the-know. It is very helpful to readers to properly set up your paper so that it as easy and interesting for them to read.
