For this week our Pre-writing step is the method or process that is done before we start to write our papers .
In this pre-writing assignment for essay one there are multiple steps. step one would be for us to read “The Handsomest Drowned Man” which was written by Gabriel Garcia Marquez. After completing the reading then I should also look on the overview/ literary critique of this book, followed by reviewing the supporting guides such as the PowerPoint on thesis statements and the second PowerPoint on how to insert quotations into a literary essay. we were also tasked with watching a video about format illustration and we should review the citation guide. The last two steps, had advised us to read the directions for the sample student essay, and then to read the sample student essay. After I’ve completed all these steps It will help me to write a thorough, detailed paper that will meet the grading criteria and it will bring ease to the process of me actually writing the paper, which is what pre-writing is about. It will provide aid to becoming more knowledgeable about the topic/ subject of our essay. Thereafter, this knowledge will equip me to write a successful essay.

Keona, thanks for this thorough answer. You will be prepared for next week’s writing challenge!
I completely agree that the activity helps us become more knowledgeable about the topic of our essay. In order to write a “thorough, detailed paper” as you stated, we absolutely needed to look at each of those guides and the source material. The way you described the process and steps of the prewriting task was very detailed and easy to follow. You specifically mentioned each guide in step three, which shows that you truly looked through everything and did the research.
