Assignment writing

If you’re here then you’ve probably hit the wall with an assignment. Well you are in the right place for support. Written assignments feel HUGE so breaking it down into stages is essential. Lets get to the cards to pick:

Start with – Focus 9 – Write like Hemingway

  • Read the question for your assignment
  • Set a timer for 15 mins and free flow with writing ideas and thoughts on the question until the alarm sounds.
  • Then take a break!
  • After the break set a timer for 45 minutes and review your writing and relate it to the marking criteria and the original question

This is a great start to an assignment. Hemingway could write approx 200 words in 15 minutes. If you have a 3000 word assignment then with Hemingways plan:

Introduction – 500 words

Paragraphs 1 – 10 with approx 200 words each

Conclusion – 500 words

The writing of your assignment is much more achievable if you think of it as 12 – 14 1 hour sessions.
