Mr.
Moran
A
process essay analyzes and presents the steps necessary in the
writer’s mind to do or accomplish something. In every important
respect, this essay is identical to the example and
comparison/contrast essays that you have already done. The thesis
must clearly state what you will prove; topic sentences need to
relate directly to the thesis; examples in the body paragraphs must
prove the topic sentences and thus the thesis.
Most
processes include more than three steps, so the best approach to
writing a process essay includes listing for yourself all of the
necessary steps and then organizing them into three (or more) groups,
which we might call phases. This permits us to write a thesis
statement such as, “Writing a process analysis essay requires three
phases of pre-writing, composition, and correction.” Naming your
“phases” helps you to organize them more effectively. Each topic
sentence, of course, will include one of the phases that you have
named.
Introductions,
conclusions, and transitions are the same as we have studied in other
essays.
