Drafts are texts that are written provisionally and then corrected and modified to create the final version. For example :One of the most important change(s) of the centuryXX was the consolidation of globalization (describe globalization a little more with adjectives or other types of construction).
Final version of the text: One of the most important changes of the 20th century was the consolidation of globalization, which allowed the integration of local economies into the world market and a greater exchange of products, goods, services, and capital.
Drafts can be written by hand or in a text-editing program and are essential because they facilitate the writing process and lead to a better final version of a text.
Before starting to write a draft it is advisable to:
- Be clear about the main objective. For example, if it’s a monograph or an article , it’s important to fully understand what the assignment requires.
- Keep the guidelines in mind. For example, you need to consider the length, whether subtitles or quotes are necessary, and so on.
- Research the topic. You can search for information on the internet and in specific bibliographies.
- Make a list of the information you’ll include. Then, in the draft, you’ll need to establish the structure for how that information will appear.
Once the draft has been completed, it is essential to review: adequacy, coherence and cohesion (the register must be appropriate and the text must have a well-organized structure and be clear), punctuation , spelling , and agreement.
Drafts are made for writing different types of texts: literary , journalistic , monographic, for online publication, among others. But drafts of drawings, i.e., sketches, are also made.
The latter consist of drawing lines, are not very detailed, and are used to represent an idea for a drawing, a painting, a plan, etc. It is common for them to include notes on what things will have to be done in the final production, for example, noting what color each thing will be.
