Writing process: think about style.
It is important not to use an informal style where your purpose for writing is to talk in general
about your own ideas. This is easy to do but hard to stop. It is important to be aware that
this style is not academic writing. Remember to plan carefully and establish your thesis or
main argument in your introduction. Then make sure that every paragraph in your response
is linked to and supports this informed point of view.
