The Writing Process

Writing can be hard if you try to start with your introduction paragraph and then write the rest of the essay afterwards. You can use the Writing Process in any subject area where you need to create a well-written, organized response. The Writing Process helps you make sure that you have the best final product by following each step closely to make sure all of your ideas relate and that your claims have evidence.

Remember, start your essay with the thesis statement. Then try to follow the steps in the Writing Process and write your introduction and conclusion paragraphs last since the thesis statement and body paragraphs are the most important.
