Explaining a Process-This is a fairly straight-forward assignment. You will explain some type of process to your reader. It can be any process you like, but the final essay must be at least 400 words in length.
Suggested topics: a recipe, how to change a diaper, how to change the oil in a car, how to get accepted to a university, how to open a bank account, how to get a job, etc. You can write on any topic you wish, but be careful! Make sure you can fully explain your process in 400-500 words. Don’t choose a topic too big or too small, and choose something you believe will be interesting to your audience.
This assignment should take paragraph form. While a list might be useful in the prewriting phase, when you actually draft your paper, you should have smooth and well developed paragraphs.
Consider your rhetorical situation:
Your purpose: Your purpose is to clearly explain the process to the reader.
Your audience: Your classmates
Your persona: the tone (stance) of your essay
Essay must be 400-500 words long and follow correct MLA formatting standards.
