Reread the article titled "Clear Writing Means Clear Thinking Means . . ." by Marvin H. Swift on pages 47 to 53 in Technical English.
In Discussion Forum 1 on the class Discussion Board, please start a thread titled "Clear Writing/[Your Name]." In a paragraph or more, answer the following questions:
How does the "tone" of the writing change as the writer moves from the first draft to the final draft?
Identify a sentence in the first draft with "excess verbiage" and post it. How does Sam eliminate the nonessential words in this sentence as he moves to his final draft?
How does the formality or informality change from the first to the final draft?
Discuss how Sam improved either the tactfulness or lack of bias in his final draft.
