Rough drafts are another step in the writing process that you can be creative to form ideas. At this point you should have such tools already established such as "lists, diagrams, outlines, freewrites, and so on". Similar to freewrites, the rough draft should not be concerned with the exact grammar and choice words. But rather should be concentrated on the structure and formatting.
The structure of the rough draft should include an introduction with a clear thesis, the body with facts supporting the thesis and a strong conclusion that bring it all back together. The introduction should be not only include your main point, or thesis, but grab hold of the attention of the reader. The body of the essay must include supporting evidence of your thesis. The ideas presented in each paragraph should also tie back the the thesis. The conclusion should without a doubt drive home the thesis and main idea, leaving the reader with memorable thoughts of reading your essay.
Many start these essays with care to detail, this is the way I have always written. The introduction first, then the body and last the conclusion. After constructive feedback, I have changed my strategy of forming my rough draft. My thesis is the first and foremost which is in my mind already obvious. Then I will attentively construct the body with supporting evidence that ties to my thesis. Lastly I will create a strong persuasive conclusion to make a lasting impression on my readers.
