Throughout my experience of learning of the writing process I have found quite a few things to be very helpful to me personally. One of the tools that we have to our benefit is a website called the Purdue Owl. This is a writing tool or 'help' that I have found to be extremely helpful. It has within it a ton of helps and examples that are to be used while writing. This has helped me tremendously in my own writing. Another thing that I found really helpful was going to class and visually and verbally learning. I couldn't have understood if it weren't for my professor explaining and giving us visual examples of the writing process itself. I also really liked how in each essay we learned a couple more rhetorical tools and had to incorporate them into our papers. Practice really does make perfect!! The more you practice using the writing process the more you will understand and become a more fluent writer. These things have been so helpful to me and would definitely be helpful for anyone else that is learning to write and use the writing process.

After looking over my past blogs, the first thing that one will want to remember about the writing process is that our goal is to reach our desired audience. This is super important because it is our main purpose of writing in the first place. Everything we do we need to then ask ourselves the question, "does this relate to our desired audience?" Next we need to know the outline of how our paper should look. We first start out with the first draft which is our 'information dump' this is when we take all of the information we have about a topic and dump it all on a page no matter how messy it is. The next draft we need to clean it up and make it pretty and comprehensible. After that we will have a peer review and add a introduction and conclusion. We also need to make sure we incorporate rhetorical tools throughout our paper while writing it. These can include things such as narratives, classification and division, and many other tools that we find useful in reaching an audience.

The process explanation is important because it explains to the audience why we do something. Like in the video we watched today, she explained what steps to take in cooking the food but then also explained to us why we do those certain steps. This also helps us realize the value of things we do I think. I personally like knowing why I am being told to do something or what value it may have. This really can help us relate to our audience.

I personally think that the introduction of an essay is one of the most important parts of the text. However, it is only good if you have the important aspects that should be in the introduction. These aspects are a thesis statement and a road map of the entire essay. The introduction should basically be a rundown of your entire essay so  the audience as an idea of what your essay is about. I don't think your audience should have any question on what you are talking about after reading the introduction to your paper. This also helps me know to what I am writing and in what order to put things in. Just put them in the order that you put in your introduction!

Classification and division is a way for authors to define and put points across to their desired audience in a way that is organized and understandable. They take definitions and classify them together into separate groups so the reader can better comprehend the text. To do this, they apply subheadings that states the general classification that different subjects are a part of and them describe them more in depth. The divisions of all classifications helps to organize a text. I personally think this because it helps me to better understand what I am reading and helps me divide what is important within the text and what is not.
