Grading Guide

You must relate the writing process that you have used in the past to the process discussed in the Week One reading with 200 – 300 words. Additionally, you must determine which step you found the easiest to complete, and which step was the most difficult to complete. You must also offer solutions for overcoming obstacles that keep you from becoming an effective writer.

Answer the following questions for the CheckPoint:

 How does the writing process you read about in this class differ from the process you have used in the past?

 Which step in the writing process is the easiest for you to complete?
