Writing A Process Essay

English Composition I has developed my style of writing and my skills analyzing and researching topics to write a piece about a topic. Throughout the course, I got better at analyzing articles and pieces to get the meaning of the topic. With that improved skill I was more able to use the information given from the text and install it into my essays, with proper citation if needed. Before taking the English Composition course, I was not one to organize my essays in an ordeal order to clearly state the point of the work. Now with taking the course, I have learned to organize my essays, examine research for a topic, and develop an essay with proper mechanics, and revising skills. In writing my personal, review, analytical, and cultural

Also, while writing one must write clearly and precisely so the reader will not get lost. In process writing essays one needs to give a variety of steps and make a comment on them.

As your paper finally slides into that dreadful homework basket, you realize you are finally done. That stressful weekend, with the anticipation, the typing, reading, re-reading and retyping. Is finally over, you have now handed in your essay. Does this sound familiar? Of course, it does! We have all worked on that English or history paper and felt relief after handing it in. But, why is this common event always so stressful for students? Perhaps it is in the way we write our essays, but is there any other way to do it? As it turns out… YES!

Kahn elegantly displays process writing in the essay “Stripped for Parts”. Process writing explains how things work or gives directions to accomplish a task. The assumption of the writing is that the reader will actually be able to follow the directions.

We were asked to write 4 essays throughout the entirely of this course. Each of the essays included an original version, followed by a revision memo, and last but not least a final revised version of the essay. After we completed an essay, the professor would grade our original essay and provide feedback on how to further improve on our final revised essay. We then would have to take his corrections into consideration and write 2 paragraphs on how to fix our mistakes called a revision memo. The first essay we were asked to write an “Argument Description”. For this essay, it was required for the students to find the writer’s primary and secondary claims of a particular essay chosen from the Best American Essays book and describe how they work. Secondly, we were asked to write an “Argument Analysis”. In this essay it required the same work as the “Argument Description” essay, but we were asked to find the implications in the claims stated. The next essay, Professor Stuart asked us to write was a “Genre Analysis”. Our final essay was called an “Argument in Literature”. (DESCRIBE THE ESSAYS COLLECTIVELY)

Essay development- The parts of writing an essay are prewriting, outlining, drafting, editing, revision, and final drafting.

With the slightest effort, a search will produce a multitude of information. This information ranges from many resource articles to completely written essays on any given subject. The process of writing an essay begins. The student must then take this information into their internal storage, assimilate it, and regurgitate it in their own words. Notes are written, and an outline made. Students cite work that is taken directly from the articles, while some thoughts are not cited. Sometimes this works and sometimes it does not. To better guide students, Cleary suggests educators “Help students learn how to pace themselves and organize their work, especially if the task you have given is complex, and they are novice” (68). This will break down the large project in to smaller, more manageable tasks. It also becomes a challenge to separate one’s thought from the thoughts of others. Price states (qtd. in

     The first step in your writing process is to just sit and think. If your essay is on an assigned topic, sit and think about what approach you will have to the subject, if it’s possible to take a position on it. If you are allowed to decide on the topic, you can take it in any direction and decide on a purpose. This purpose can be to tell someone how to do something, present information you have collected on your favorite subject, or even entertain the audience who will be reading it. Once who have brainstormed some ideas, examine each

Typically, after being assigned an essay, my first step used to be sitting in front of the computer and starting to type aimlessly with no specific goal in my mind. This process usually ends up taking hours, and I do not end up accomplishing much at the end. This year, I plan to formulate a new process that will hopefully improve my writing exceptionally. Breaking down the essay writing into pieces will result in quality content. The writing process that I devised incorporates some of the basic elements of writing such as: prewriting, revising, and editing.

The order of process directions are chronological from beginning to end. Mary Zeigler did a nice job with organizing her paragraphs. I liked how Mary broke each step down and discussed them separately in each body paragraph. Overall this essay was written very well! I did not find any grammatical errors, nor did I have any grammatical concerns. The writer’s usage of transitional phrases were great, as well!

My interest for the Attorney Advisor position with the United States Patent & Trademark Office (USPTO) arises from my longstanding commitment to constantly improve myself. I have always enjoyed legal research, writing, and the complexities of intellectual property. I have no doubt that my enthusiasm to research, my eagerness to learn, and my strong ability to communicate clearly, work efficiently, accurately, and quickly, will make me an invaluable asset to the USPTO. I believe these traits combined with my unique skillset, developed as a result of experiences working for the Arizona Diamondbacks of Major League Baseball (Diamondbacks), Nike Inc.

The purpose of a compare and contrast essay is to

Throughout the seven weeks that I have taken this writing composition course, I have developed skills to help me improve my own writing. Using the writing process is one of the main focuses in the course. The writing process helps writers develop and revise their essay as they work their way up to creating the final draft that can be presented. Although there are many areas in my own writing where I can get better, I have found that my writing has improved in many ways while practicing using the writing process.

Reflection for Essay 2 As a writer, I found that I struggled with three specific areas when attempting to complete the assignment for essay 2; inventing what to write about, arranging my ideas, and expressing my ideas. However, the most challenging was inventing what to write about. Once I narrowed my topic it was complicated to decide which details to include and which details to omit. Although this was a process analysis essay, and the details are important, it took some time to think about how to write the essay in such a manner that if someone were to read the process, would it make sense to the reader, or could the reader duplicate the process.
