PART I: WRITING APPLICATION
In this homework assignment, you will turn in a 1 page document that
consists of three paragraphs: a paragraph plan, a draft process paragraph, and
a revised process paragraph. Use a word
processor, such as Microsoft Word, to complete and turn in the assignment. Remember to use proper APA format (Times New
Roman, 12-point font, double-spacing).
Step 1: Choose any of the topics to write your process paragraph. Choosing a topic that is of interest or
choosing a topic that may be difficult for you to write about is a good way to
challenge your writing skills:
o How to make your home safe
o How to decorate a room with
very little money
o How to find a good roommate
o How to break up with a mate
o How to train a pet
o How to build or fix something
o How to choose a college
o How to stay motivated at
college
o How to prepare for a job
interview
o How to get along with your
coworkers
o How to organize your desk or
tools
o How something was discovered
Step 2: Create your paragraph plan, write your first draft, and write your
revised draft.
First, write your paragraph plan. Next, in the same document, write your first
draft and then write your revised draft.
You should have three separate elements that show the progress of your
paragraph.
Remember that a good paragraph takes time to
write. You may want to start with some
idea-development activities, such as freewriting or brainstorming, to help you
generate your paragraph. Pay attention
to your purpose, audience, and mechanics in your paragraph.
Step 3: Save and submit your assignment.
