INTRODUCTION

Final Draft is a four-level academic writing series for high beginning / low intermediate- to
high advanced-level students of North American English. The series prepares students to write
in a college or university setting by focusing on the topics, rhetorical modes, skills, vocabulary,
and grammar necessary for students to develop their academic writing. Students are given the
tools to master academic writing. First, they learn and practice foundational academic writing
skills essential to writing paragraphs and essays. Then, following a process-based approach,
students move through the writing process, from brainstorming with graphic organizers to
organizing and developing their ideas with outlines, before completing the final draft of their
unit assignment.
Final Draft provides frequent and realistic writing models. Each unit features writing models
that reinforce the concept that writing is purposeful. The Writing in the Real World article
engages students and introduces them to the topic, ideas, language, and elements of structure
or rhetorical mode taught in the unit. The Student Model then demonstrates the conventions
of the target structure and mode. This progression from authentic text to traditional
academic writing helps students new to academic discourse first understand the purpose of
communicating with a given mode before turning their attention to mastering the form.
Final Draft focuses on key academic vocabulary. Students need to encounter high-frequency
academic vocabulary and learn how to use it naturally in preparation for college-level writing.
The academic phrases and collocations in the series were selected based on the findings of
research into the Cambridge English Corpus. Analysis of this multibillion-word collection of
real-life English indicates the language that is most relevant for academic writing, with a focus
here on longer lexical chunks. The academic vocabulary in the series is also corpus-informed,
the majority of words coming from Averil Coxhead’s Academic Word List (AWL) and the
remaining items taken from Michael West’s General Service List (GSL). AWL words are identified
as such in the index of the Student’s Book.
Vocabulary items are contextualized and recycled throughout the unit. Academic collocations
or academic phrases are introduced and practiced in alternating units. The writing models
recycle these words and phrases in academic contexts, and in the final section of each unit
students are prompted to find places where they can use these vocabulary items naturally when
writing their end-of-unit assignment.
The grammar presented in Final Draft is corpus-informed. Corpus research tells us the most
common grammar mistakes for specific grammar points in academic writing. Students study
the most common grammar mistakes drawn from the Cambridge Learner Corpus, a unique
collection of over 50 million examples of nonnative speakers’ writing. Students then work to
repair them in editing activities. At the end of the unit, students are reminded to correct these
mistakes as they write their assignment, which helps promote accuracy in their writing.

4 INTRODUCTION
Final Draft teaches students to understand and avoid plagiarism. The series provides a robust
presentation of techniques for understanding and avoiding plagiarism. Each unit (except
Unit 8) includes an overview of a common plagiarism-related issue, along with a skill-building
activity. This innovative approach is pedagogical, not punitive. Many ESL students struggle with
a range of issues related to plagiarism. By including realistic examples and practical activities in
each unit, Final Draft helps students avoid plagiarism and improve their academic writing.
Writing Skills Interactive provides extra practice in key writing skills. This online course,
which can be purchased with Final Draft, provides graduated instruction and practice in key
writing skills to help students build confidence and fluency. Each unit provides an animated
presentation of the target writing skill, along with automatically graded practice activities.
Each unit closes with a quiz so students can assess their progress.

Special Sections
YOUR TURN ACTIVITIES
Each unit includes a wide variety of regular writing practice activities, including Your Turn
activities which ask students to go beyond traditional practice to apply the skills, ideas, and
language they have learned to their selected writing prompt. As a result, by the time they
write their end-of-unit assignment, they are thoroughly prepared for the writing process
because they have already practiced relevant skills and generated useful ideas and language
to incorporate into their work. This makes the writing process less daunting than it would
otherwise be.

DO RESEARCH ACTIVITIES
In Section 5 of Final Draft 4 Units 1–7, students are given the opportunity to explore research
topics before they write their first drafts. Presentations cover common research issues, from
evaluating online sources to taking clear notes in order to avoid citation mistakes. Students then
work on an activity that helps them apply what they just learned to their own essays.

Final Draft 4
This book is designed for a semester-long writing course. There is enough material in the
Student’s Book for a course of 50 to 70 class hours. The number of class hours will vary,
depending on how much of a unit is assigned outside of class and how much time a teacher
decides to spend on specific elements in class. Because units are carefully designed to build
toward the final writing activity, teachers are encouraged to work through each unit in
chronological order. However, units can generally stand alone, so teachers can teach them in
the order that best suits their needs. Unit 1 reviews the essay structure. Units 2–7 are organized
by the rhetorical modes most commonly taught in an advanced writing class. Unit 8 is uniquely
designed to help students prepare for timed writing assignments, including standardized
writing exams.

Unit Overview and Teaching Suggestions

UNIT OPENER

Purpose
• To introduce the unit topic and academic discipline in an engaging way
• To elicit preliminary thinking about the unit theme and structure or rhetorical mode
Teaching Suggestion
Have students respond to the quote in writing by freewriting their ideas or by agreeing or
disagreeing with the central message of the quote.

1 PREPARE YOUR IDEAS

In Section 1, students begin to explore the unit structure or rhetorical mode and choose their
writing prompt for the unit.

A Connect to Academic Writing


Purpose
• To introduce the unit structure or rhetorical mode in an accessible way
• To connect academic writing to students’ lives and experience
Teaching Suggestion
To deepen the conversation, elicit additional examples from students of how the rhetorical
mode connects to thinking they already do in their lives.

B Reflect on the Topic


Purpose
• To show a writing prompt that elicits the rhetorical mode
• To introduce an appropriate graphic organizer for brainstorming and organizing ideas for
the mode
• To choose a prompt for the unit writing assignment and begin generating ideas for the topic
• To engage students with the writing process early in the unit

6 INTRODUCTION
Copyright Material - Review Only - Not for Redistribution
Teaching Suggestion
Group students together who chose the same writing prompt and have them brainstorm ideas
for the topic. Groups can then share their ideas with the class and receive immediate feedback.

2 EXPAND YOUR KNOWLEDGE

In Section 2, students learn academic vocabulary and read a real-world text that contains
elements of the unit structure or rhetorical mode.

A Academic Vocabulary
Purpose
• To introduce high-frequency academic words from the Academic Word List and the General
Service List
• To focus on the meaning of the target vocabulary within a thematic context
Teaching Suggestion
Have students choose vocabulary words from the activity that they still have trouble
understanding or contextualizing and write sentences using them. They can share their
sentences in groups or with the class and receive immediate feedback.

B Academic Collocations / Academic Phrases


Purpose
• To teach academic collocations and phrases that frequently occur in academic reading
and writing
• To encourage the use of language chunks that will make student writing more natural and
academic
• To tie academic vocabulary to the unit theme
Teaching Suggestion
Have students use the Internet to find more authentic examples of the collocations in sentences
as a homework assignment. Students can then share their examples with the class or in groups.

C Writing in the Real World


Purpose
• To provide authentic content, ideas, and language in a context related to the unit theme
• To introduce elements of the unit rhetorical mode in an authentic reading
• To recycle new academic vocabulary and collocations or phrases
• To introduce features of the unit structure or mode
Teaching Suggestion
After students have read and understood the text, assign a paragraph or section to small
groups, and have students work together to explain the purpose of each sentence in the
section. Sample student responses: The first sentence introduces the topic, the second and third
sentences give background information on the topic, etc.

INTRODUCTION 7
Copyright Material - Review Only - Not for Redistribution
3 STUDY ACADEMIC WRITING

In Section 3, students read and analyze a student model of a traditional academic essay.
A detailed examination of elements of the unit structure or rhetorical mode follows.

A Student Model
Purpose
• To provide an aspirational student model for the unit structure or rhetorical mode
• To deepen understanding of writing technique through real-time analysis
• To provide a context for writing skills that will be studied in Section 4
• To familiarize students with writing prompts that can be answered using the unit mode
• To recycle academic vocabulary and collocations or phrases
• To evaluate and generate more ideas on the unit theme
• To demonstrate the organization and development of ideas in traditional academic writing
Teaching Suggestion
In small groups, have students discuss their answers to the Analyze Writing Skills tasks.
Then have each group present to the class on something they noticed that they found
interesting or still have questions about. This offers an opportunity to deepen the discussion
on writing technique.

B Unit Structure or Rhetorical Mode


Purpose
• To deepen understanding of the unit structure or rhetorical mode
• To explain key elements of the unit structure or rhetorical mode
• To have students practice writing elements of a paragraph or essay
Teaching Suggestion
Following the activities in this section in chronological order will ensure that students have
covered all the key features of the unit structure or rhetorical mode. However, if students need
less work in some areas, you may want to skip those parts in class and assign the activities for
homework.
In general, practice activities, including Your Turn activities, can be completed in class and
immediate feedback can be given by peers or the instructor. Alternately, these sections can be
assigned as homework and brought to class for review.

8 INTRODUCTION
Copyright Material - Review Only - Not for Redistribution
4 SHARPEN YOUR SKILLS

In Section 4, students review and practice key writing skills, specific applications of grammar for
writing, and ways to avoid plagiarism.

A Writing Skill
Purpose
• To provide practice with discrete writing skills that students can apply to their unit writing
assignments
• To deepen knowledge of rhetorical strategies
Teaching Suggestion
Collect writing samples from one or more of the Your Turn activities in this section. Reproduce
several for the class – on the board, as handouts, on a screen – to use as an editing activity.

B Grammar for Writing


Purpose
• To present specific applications of grammar for academic writing
• To draw attention to the most common grammar mistakes made by students
• To promote grammatical accuracy in academic writing
• To improve students’ editorial skills
Teaching Suggestion

elements of the unit mode (e.g., language, structure) and parts of an academic paragraph
(e.g., topic sentence, examples, other supporting details).

C Avoiding Plagiarism
Purpose
• To increase awareness of the issues surrounding plagiarism
• To build skills and strategies for avoiding plagiarism
• To provide regular practice of writing skills useful for avoiding plagiarism
Teaching Suggestion
Have one student read the student question in the Q & A aloud; all other students should listen
with their books closed. Elicit possible responses from the class and then compare them to the
professor’s answer in the book.

5 WRITE YOUR PARAGRAPH OR ESSAY

In Section 5, students go through the steps of the writing process to a final draft of their unit
writing assignment.

STEP 1: BRAINSTORM
Purpose
• To brainstorm, evaluate, and organize ideas for the student paragraph or essay
Teaching Suggestion
After students brainstorm their own ideas on paper, survey the class and list the top three to
five ideas for each writing prompt on the board. Then have the students explain, evaluate,
and rank the ideas.

STEP 2: DO RESEARCH
Purpose
• To build basic research skills
Teaching Suggestion
If applicable, go back to the Student Model in Section 3. Have students review the research in
the Student Model and relate the Do Research presentation and practice to it.

STEP 3: MAKE AN OUTLINE


Purpose
• To help students organize their paragraphs or essays before writing
Teaching Suggestion
After students complete their outlines, have them work in pairs to explain how key ideas in
their outlines connect to the overall topic or thesis of their paper. This process helps confirm
that their ideas are directly relevant to the topic and allows students to consider their ideas
more fully.

STEP 4: WRITE YOUR FIRST DRAFT


Purpose
• To give students the opportunity to use the language, skills, and ideas from the unit to
answer their writing prompt
Teaching Suggestion
After students write their first drafts, have students work in pairs to give each other feedback
before turning in their writing to you. Ask partners to underline sections they think are
well-written and circle any words, sentences, or phrases that are unclear. Students can then
revise for clarity before submitting their first drafts.

10 INTRODUCTION
Copyright Material - Review Only - Not for Redistribution
STEP 5: WRITE YOUR FINAL DRAFT
Purpose
• To evaluate and implement instructor/peer feedback
• To improve self-editing skills
• To write a final draft
Teaching Suggestion
Have students mark – highlight, underline, circle, number, etc. – sentences or parts of their
writing that they revised based on peer or instructor feedback. This ensures students will
incorporate some corrective feedback.

One difference between life 100 years ago and life today is the availability of food. In the past, the

availability of certain fruits was altered / conditioned / restricted to the seasons in which they grew.
(1)
For example, consumers in North America could only expect to have peaches in the summer and apples

places. This year-round availability of food has contributed to an increase in the availability of fast food.

To fight against this increase in fast food, Carlo Petrini began the Slow Food movement in Italy in 1986.

The movement emphasizes that food should be from local sources and cooked slowly. Since then, it has

spread to other countries. The Slow Food movement is conditioned / concentrated / altered mostly in

people’s attitudes toward food have changed in the past century. They feel that people should be more

Circle the correct words to complete the paragraph.

The main idea of Andrew Baum’s article “Obtaining and Using Information on the Job” is that there are

negative aspects of information overload that we need to understand. Baum contends that when we receive

increasingly larger amounts of information, it is constant / inevitable / minimized that we will experience a
(1)
decrease in concentration and focus. Baum points to studies showing that if the amount of information that

needs to be processed exceeds / attributes / deviates someone’s processing abilities, his or her ability to
(2)
think clearly can be established / inevitable / minimized or even reduced to zero. He concludes that people
(3)
should attribute / establish / dismiss a list of clear questions that need to be answered before searching for
(4)
information, and that these be used as a guide throughout the research process. I agree with Baum’s article,

and I think too many workers dismiss / deviate / exceed the dangers of information overload. Most people
(5)
in the workplace understand very well that the Internet can be a waste of time. Most of them have dealt

with the deviate / constant / minimal temptation to play a game or message a friend rather than work.
(6)
In addition, many students have sometimes dismissed / established / attributed an inability to complete
(7)
their homework to distractions on their computers. I agree with one of Baum’s points quite strongly: workers

and students should establish a practice of making a list of clear questions that need to be answered before

conducting research. I think if they follow this practice and try not to dismiss / attribute / deviate from it,

they can ignore distractions and get their work done.

“Teens are increasingly sharing personal information on social media sites, a trend that is likely driven
by the evolution of the platforms teens use as well as changing norms around sharing. A typical teen’s
MySpace profile from 2006 was quite different in form and function from the 2006 version of Facebook as
well as the Facebook profiles that have become a hallmark of teenage life today. For the five different types
of personal information that we measured in both 2006 and 2012, each is significantly more likely to be
shared by teen social media users on the profile they use most often.
• 91% post a photo of themselves, up from 79% in 2006.
• 71% post their school name, up from 49%.
• 71% post the city or town where they live, up from 61%.
• 53% post their email address, up from 29%.
• 20% post their cell phone number, up from 2%.
“Generally speaking, older teen social media users (ages 14–17), are more likely to share certain types of
information on the profile they use most often when compared with younger teens (ages 12–13).”

UNIT 6 WRITING PROMPT

Instructors: This is a copy of “Stop knocking curation (adapted)” from page 184 of the Student’s Book
(without the annotations). The students have already read it in class. You can assign it as a unit writing quiz
with the following directions:
1 Read the article again and annotate it.
2 Write a summary and response. Use your own ideas.

Curation is the act of finding and organizing information on a topic online, while also providing links to
the original content. Companies that benefit from using content curation include the Huffington Post,
an insightful online news aggregator and blog, and Reddit, a popular website where contributions from
its community members provide for amusing discussions and tales from the world of entertainment, news,
and social networking.

Stop knocking curation Steven Rosenbaum (adapted)

Curation is a growing concept as the enormous volume of mostly identical content has made it nearly
impossible for mere mortals to find useful, thoughtful, contextual content on the Web. But its practice is
undervalued. In just one example, a 2012 writing in The Atlantic called “curate” one of the “words we’d
just as soon never write or see or hear spoken again.”

I disagree. Information overload inevitably drives content consumers to look for human-filtered,
journalist-vetted, intellectually related material. This demand for coherence isn’t unreasonable; it’s
essential. And for those who think and write every day, gathering bits of ideas here and there that can
be turned into a thoughtful narrative “on a topic” isn’t cheating, or being lazy. Far from it. For those
who would dismiss or minimize curating, it is in many ways harder than writing (at least good curating
is). It’s far easier for me to write 500 words from my head than to find themes and sources and tie them
into a broader narrative.

Now, my issue with the current state of curation is that there are many people who wrongly attribute
misguided meanings to the word. In so doing, they deviate from the core concepts that make curation so
appealing and relevant.

Curation started as a term for a practice that was emerging over the past few years to filter the
overabundance of data and create quality, thoughtful, human-organized collections. The most urgent
need for curation was in Web content. This is because there is far too much data being produced by
digital devices, video-enabled mobile phones, auto-tweeting devices, and overzealous Facebook friends.
Curators create entirely new editorial works by finding, filtering, and contextualizing. Meaning is
produced from within massive amounts of data.

Copyright Material - Review Only - Not for Redistribution
Curation, in its purest form, helps to establish a solution to a problem that meets a growing need.
But then a bunch of random marketers and sign makers got in the act. Today, things are curated that
shouldn’t be. For example, a wine store can be known as a “social wine store” (whatever that means)
if it claims to provide “curated” craft beer and spirits. As if another wine shop isn’t “curated” (heck,
they just stock whatever boxed wine they can get their hands on).

If the word curation is allowed to be diluted to simply mean “selected” or “quality collection,” then
it no longer solves the problem we need it to solve. Content needs curation. The constant overflow of
unfiltered content would overwhelm us if there was no one to objectively organize and watch over it.
Wine doesn’t pose this problem.

Here are a few scary stats: Everyday, 50 million photos are uploaded to Facebook, 864,000 hours of
video are uploaded to YouTube, and 294 BILLION emails are sent. That’s why you can’t read all the
mail you get anymore.

This all makes curation an important, even essential, part of journalism. The world is full of
meaningless data. Readers are hungry for clarity and understanding. And journalists are trained to find
meaning and assemble facts into something that can be rationally and logically understood. They’re
rewarded with enlightened readers, engaged audiences, and a revitalized role in the new world. In this
new world, anyone can be a creator of information. Quality curation is a wonderful thing.

Adapted from “Stop Knocking Curation” by Steven Rosenbaum, www.cjr.org/the_kicker/leave_curation_alone.php.
