Context content conclusion (CCC)

This is a model to structure writing. The idea is to separate what you are writing into 3 discernible blocks:

  • Context: Sufficient background information for people to read the content with purpose. This should include motivation and the set up for the problem.
  • Content: The substance to what you want to say and you show your approach to the problem.
  • Conclusion: Summarise what you have solved and how.

Remember Start and end point bias!

Advantages

This will provide the reader the full context to understand what you are trying to say and frame it in a way that is memorable.

Disadvantages

This is assuming a patient reader that is happy to understand the context before getting to the point. This should be used when people already have buy in to what you want to say.
