Successful Strategies for Development

There are a variety of strategies that I have used over the years to help develop my writing and also helped me to figure out where to start with my papers. I have used the comparison and/or contrast strategy many times and I feel like that strategy is usually a good start off point for me. There are many things or people in the world you are able to compare and contrast because no two things are usually alike and there are always differences you'll notice. This kind of strategy allows for creativity and can also be applied to the cubing technique. Cubing can help to see what others find different and similar that might have been bypassed the first time. I think all of the strategies for development can be tied to cubing because it can help to expand on your ideas. Another strategy for development that I have used successfully is the enumeration/chronology. This helped to bring structure and order to my essays because it helps you to see what the proper order your paper should be in. I find that it is very helpful to recognize what goes first and what steps you need in order to make it to your last and final step. The reader would be able to follow your writing and would help them to understand where you are going with the essay.
