The deliverable:  Structure is clear  Challenges: 5-7 sentence intro and conclusion  Body: structure within it seems open; do you have to answer all these questions or are they meant to be suggestive? Rubric suggests you have to answer them all.
Getting started  Explore the assignment  Make rough notes  Pick a tentative topic  Make an appointment at the writing centre for later in the week  Get feedback on your draft/revise  Work on style and lower order concerns  Proofread, consult checklist for assignment
 Invention [prewriting]  Arrangement [organizing the draft]  Style [working on sentences and words]  Memory [n/a]  Delivery [see checklist]
How should you get started? Prewriting strategies:  Brainstorming  Note-taking  Sample thesis statements  Idea maps  Talking, reading
Three questions to ask about a working thesis: 1. Is it specific? 2. Is is manageable for this assignment? 3. Is it interesting for your readers? Sample thesis for this assignment:
New approaches to pain management stress three kinds of knowledge for nurses to obtain if they are to respond effectively to a patient’s pain: knowledge of self, knowledge of pain, and knowledge of standards of care. 1 The most important of these three areas is knowledge of pain because acquiring this knowledge and making effective judgments about pain is notoriously subjective. www.mbon.org/practice/pain_management.pdf
 Background on pain management  Summaries of articles on pain management  Description of pain management guidelines for your clinical unit  What causes these guidelines to change? [or not change to reflect new ideas]  How are these policies communicated on your clinical unit: orally? Documents? Video?  What role do nurses play in pain management?  What new ideas did you find in the research literature that might be used in your clinical unit?  What do you want to know more about re. pain management?
 Title: Taking pains to alleviate suffering  Pain management: current research  Pain in my clinical unit: practices already in place  It pains me to say: recommendations for my clinical unit  Feeling no pain: questions for further research
 Get a “trusted reader” to get feedback  Consider using other students in the course or the writing centre for this  Ask readers to read for specific purposes: thesis, structure, transitions, development of a particular paragraph or idea
 Towards the due date, switch your focus from higher-order concerns (arrangement, arguments, evidence) to lower-order concerns: proofreading, grammar, citation format, grammar/ spelling
