Task 5: A Process Piece

This week, You're going to focus on explaining how to do something that is related to your topic. For example, if you're writing a fashion focused blog, you could explain how to reconstruct a t-shirt, as shown here on Dirty Laundry. Be creative-- the possibilities are endless! You could explain how to throw a football, roast a turkey, apply make-up like Jennifer Lopez, etc. Remember to edit your post, and develop it into about 250 words. Also, be sure to add helpful images or links to your post.

As you write your process essay, consider the following:

• What process are you trying to explain? Why is it important?
• Who or what does the process affect?
• Are there different ways of doing the process? If so, what are they?
• Who are the readers? What knowledge do they need to understand this process?
• What skills/equipment are needed for this?
• How long does the process take? Is the outcome always the same?
• How many steps are there in the process?
• Why is each step important?
• What difficulties are involved in each step? How can they be overcome?
• Do any cautions need to be given?
• Does the process have definitions that need to be clarified?
• Are there other processes that are similar and could help illustrate the process that you are writing about?
• If needed, tell what should not be done or why something should be done.
