While writing

• write the introduction last
• write the most important things first
• for each element you discuss,(ie. visual rhetoric) list all of the devices, but only discuss the most important
• be sure to discuss syntax and diction
• discuss the audience in detail (can be in final paragraph or conclusion)

Finalising

• discuss what will be discussed including specifics in your introduction
• revisit key ideas and audience in your conclusion
