Hanging On

Hi everyone, it was nice seeing all of you again face to face. In today's lesson, we covered some of the remaining topics of Chapter 7 and then jumped onto Chapter 10 - Process Analysis. Once again, we read over a short essay and that author's Writing Process Worksheet. Looking over the worksheet almost daily, helps us embed the information into our brains so that we won't forget about the three stages of writing. In Chapter 10, we learned about the process analysis writing, where it has two types: directive - explains how to do something, and informative - explains how something was (is) done by giving information. The basic stages of the process analysis are preparation or background, steps or sequence, and order. In directive process analysis, the first stage is preparation where you list the materials needed for the process and discuss the necessary arrangement. Informative process analysis begins with background or context. The second stage is steps or sequence where the actual process will be presented. Lastly, is stage three the order is usually in chronological sense. In preparation for writing a process analysis, listing as a pre-writing technique is very useful in organizing your ideas.

I hope everyone did well on the test today! Gear up, we are having another one on Friday!
