Step One–Exegetical Draft

1. study the biblical book being translated
2. unpack the meaning
3. write out chapter one in the tribal language

Step Two–Team Drafting

1. Darcy meets with the members of her drafting team (in her case a husband and wife who live in the village) to discuss the chapter being translated, key terms used, and other necessary content. 
2. Darcy then reads through the translation she has done, usually working in paragraph size chunks.  Her team listens and then speaks back to her what they heard, not trying to repeat exactly what Darcy read them but instead they say it as a tribal person would say it. 
3. These sessions are recorded so that following their dialogue the new draft can be typed out.   

Step three–Content Check

1. After the revisions have been made by the drafting team’s reworking of Darcy’s rough draft, Darcy then goes back over it and checks for any content loss.  Such as key terms left out, or concepts missed. 
2. Revisions are done to this new draft so that it reflects all the necessary content from her exegetical study of the biblical book. 
3. Re-taping is done if necessary.
