Assignment Details
Description: Use process analysis to teach your audience how to do one of the step-by-step processes listed below. In addition to choosing a topic that aligns with your pathway/career field, I would strongly urge you to select a process that you feel you are uniquely qualified to teach. In other words, keep the focus on your own expertise and experience. Explain the process one step at a time, and be sure to provide your reader with enough detail to make each step clear. (Note: Although you will be explaining the steps of a process, do not write your essay as a numbered list. You must compose your essay in the traditional paragraph structure). Since you will be providing directions in this essay, you need to use the second-person point-of-view (POV).
Possible topics:
- AHCD: How to write a song
- Business: How to shop smartly
- Education: How to study for an exam
- Health Sciences: How to maintain a healthy lifestyle
- IMCT: How to drive defensively
- Public Safety: How to practice basic safety precautions on a daily basis
- SBSHS: How to be a good friend or partner
- STEM: How to create and maintain a budget

IMPORTANT: A successful process analysis essay should go beyond simply explaining how to do the particular process; it must also make an argument that reinforces WHY or HOW the reader might benefit from knowing how to do these steps. Also, consider how your writing will respond and adapt to a variety of potential audiences, who will have differentiated knowledge levels and experiences. Be sure to add at least 1 research source. Provide at least one quote and one paraphrase using your research source.
