Legislative Wrap-Up
Wrap-Up Writing Tips
- Keep in mind that your Wrap Up should be written in a journalistic style, i.e. there is a natural, readable flow to the whole piece.
- Your Wrap Up should be written in past tense but let staff know if you find difficulty here.
- Be sure to include transitions between paragraphs and ideas.
- Use the names that we have listed on our website so, again, we will link/write "Bobby Jindal" and not "Piyush 'Bobby' Amrit Jindal".
- If you are unsure about grammar, quotations, or other general writing issues, look through the handouts from the UT, Washington, or Vanderbilt writing centers.
- When you are finished, be sure to credit your work. Here is an example:
