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).
topics:
Health Sciences: How to maintain a healthy lifestyle; How to Manage a Chronic Illness

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.
Assessment: Your grade will derive from your abilities to describe successfully the process of your choosing using a variety of specific details and examples, to argue a clear claim/thesis, and to organize your thoughts in an effective, chronological manner to help your reader clearly understand your argument. Consult the Essay Rubric for a detailed list of the criteria that comprise A, B, C, D, and F essays.
Requirements: You should submit a 500-word essay, typed and double-spaced. Use Times New Roman font in 12-pt size. Format your paper according to MLA guidelines.
Due Dates: Due dates are posted in the “Schedule / Class Activities” section of your ENC 1101 Syllabus. Remember that the final publish of your essay must be submitted online through the “Assignments” section of your BCOnline/D2L page.
