Which of the following writers is most likely to produce quality writing?
a. Ali looks at the grade on his papers, but does not revise or edit them. He avoids writing
except when he has to for his classes, and then he usually writes the paper the evening before
it is due.
b. Zoey starts on a paper as soon as it is assigned and follows a process of writing over several
days. She looks over past papers, so she can avoid making the same mistakes. She enjoys
putting her own individual take on the topics to make them more interesting for her readers.
When not writing for her classes, Zoey keeps a journal, writing a little every day.
c. Gary takes his time to do exactly what the assignment asks for and is always careful to meet
the minimum page requirement on an assignment. He doesn't really understand how
prewriting and outlining will help him write better papers, so he usually starts with a draft
and adds to it until it's long enough. He goes to the writing center for advice on editing.
d. Alexis does her best work when she's interested in the topic, but if she doesn't care for it, she
does what is necessary to get the paper done and turned in on time. She has trouble with
grammar and punctuation, so she lets her mother, who is a retired teacher, edit all of her
papers. Once she writes a draft, she doesn't like to make a lot of changes, trying to get
everything just right the first time.
b. Zoey starts on a paper as soon as it is assigned and follows a process of writing over
several days. She looks over past papers, so she can avoid making the same mistakes. She
enjoys putting her own individual take on the topics to make them more interesting for her
readers. When not writing for her classes, Zoey keeps a journal, writing a little every day.
