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. Since this is your prewriting,
write as much as you can, up to 500 word
