Intro Drafts

One of the most recent assignments was to write an intro draft for Pinker. The intro is one of the hardest things to write. It requires a hook, understanding project and argument, and a plan for the rest of the paper. If students have all of that, it should make writing their paper easier.

Reading the intro draft ahead of time allowed me to give advice on the papers before the first draft.

I do wish I had done this earlier, but of course I wish we had given more time to Pinker, to his project, claims, strategies.

Next time. Next time.
