Balancing Penn Foster studies with work, family, and other activities and responsibilities

Drafting Your Essay
This assignment requires two paragraphs. Each paragraph employs a pattern of development that was covered in the reading for this lesson. If you’re not familiar with narration, description, or process analysis, you should review the required reading for Lesson 4.
For your first paragraph, use the narrative and description techniques you learned in this lesson to describe daily activi- ties. You’ll write about the activities you dedicate your time to: schoolwork, family responsibilities, and your job. Don’t forget to include other pursuits such as hobbies, sports, and volunteer and social activities. This paragraph should be a minimum of 500 words.
In your second paragraph, focus on how you manage your time to accomplish everything you need and want to. For this paragraph, use process analysis to explain how you manage your time. Consider the tools you employ such as a planner or calendar, whether paper or electronic, or even a chart or list. Again, write a minimum of 500 words to clearly illustrate your process for managing your busy schedule.
Your prewriting should total between 1,000 and 1,100 words
