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 definition paragraph,
and a revised definition 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: You can choose
any of the following topics about which to write your definition
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
A slacker
o

Step 2: Create your
paragraph plan, write your first draft, and revise your work.

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 development activities, such as freeewriting or
brainstorming, to help you generate our paragraph. Pay attention to your purpose, audience, and
mechanics in your paragraph.

Step 3: Save and
submit your assignment.
