By Larry Freeman, PhD.
The Shipley Group, Senior Consultant
Participants in Shipley
writing workshops often say, “That’s not what my English teacher
said!”
These
participants are usually recalling accurately that a high school English
teacher, or perhaps even one in grade school, laid down some do’s and
don’ts about writing. This teacher’s rules took on the role of law.
And, of course, these writing commandments had to be correct because the
teacher did get them directly from Moses!....more

SEVEN PRINCIPLES FOR
ENSURING A QUALITY EIS OR EA
- Collaboratively develop a vision of the final EIS
or EA and all its supporting information.
- Set the page layout and document structure to
match this vision.
- Use CEQ’s recommended outline to ensure that
your EIS or EA is analytic, not encyclopedic.
- Mock-up/storyboard the entire EIS or EA,
including projected graphics for major NEPA conclusions
and supporting facts.
- Then, and only then, begin to draft the full
text.
- Review the evolving text and graphics to verify
their relevance and effectiveness.
- Shepherd the drafts (print-ready copy, CD, or web
version) through production and assemble all supporting
information.
