Draw: A Heuristic for Expressive Writing.

Taylor, Michael

Journal of Teaching Writing, v4 n2 p210-14 Fall 1985

Proposes a heuristic to generate specific and vivid phrasing and to draw on the right hemisphere of the brain for the substance of the essay. Describes stages of process as DRAW (Delineate, Ruminate, Analogize, and Write). Emphasizes creative description and expressive language rather than generation of ideas. (JG)
