How to Develop and Write an Essay
Writing is a process of
organizing and expressing your thoughts. Since writing is a
process, there is no one or single manner of writing an essay.
However, "experienced writers pass through certain stages
that overlap and circle back on each other" (Little,
Brown Handbook). These stages include: 1) Developing
or Planning (discovering the subject, gathering information,
focusing on a central theme, and organizing material); 2) Drafting
(the "writing" that includes creating ideas, expressing
ideas, clarifying ideas, and connecting ideas); 3) Revising
(rethinking and improving structure, content, style, and
presentation; re-writing; editing; and proofreading).

Description Paper (On an Object) Due date Changed
Classes,
Last week, students were asked to bring in a rough draft of a description paper, about an object.
And you were told that it would be due as a final draft twoo weeks later.
Due to our extensive preparation for the Mid term, I am going to push back the due date for the final draft by at least one more week.
Thus, now worries for now. Focus on the midterm and I will get you those rough drafts back with a new due date, to be announced after we take the test.
