Effective writing is achieved through the use of both MACRO and MICRO writing devices. Macro • the presence of a clear thesis statement; • the use of clear sentence structure; • the logical flow of information in the text; • the focus the text has maintained on the subject. Micro • the repetition of key subject words and key descriptive words throughout the text; • clearly focused sentences; • the use of connective words and transition signals.

Logic and Coherence • The main sections of the text should develop the material in a logical and coherent manner, reflecting the structure outlined in the introduction or the topic sentence of the piece of text. • Make sure you include: • Clear statements on the relationships between topics; and • Make your points following the order of the initial statements • This allows the logical sequence of the text to be clearly visible to the reader.
