Looking ahead to the process analysis essay that you will write in Week 4, develop a strong thesis statement for that essay.
For informative essays:
For a strong thesis statement, you only need two sentences. In the first sentence, identify the process that you will be describing. In the next sentence, briefly preview the steps in that process that you will be addressing in the body of the essay. These steps will later become the body paragraphs of your essay.
Topic
Think of a skill you have that you could teach to others. Write a directional process analysis essay that explains, step by step, how to do this skill. Focus on using transition words or phrases between the steps in your essay.
Organizational order (also useful for transitions between sentences and paragraphs):
Time (chronological)
Audience
Someone who is eager to learn the skill.
Your essay will explain a process. The body paragraphs will follow a timeline. Step one comes first, then step two, etc. This timeline will comprise the basic outline of your essay. It is also called chronological order because “chronology” refers to time.
