Eng 112 - today your "expository sandwich" paragraphs were handed in and we explored the finer points of expository writing. In class we did some prewriting on potential expository topics. Tonight you are to write 150-250 words describing a process of how to do something. Pick something you're knowledgeable about: (changing a flat tire, cooking a favorite meal, surviving a zombie apocolypse, clearing a level on a video game, taking a slapshot etc..) and write it out like the example explained in class today. Remember, make the intro interesting, the focus should be clear, transition words should carry us from step to step and the conclusion should shake hands with the introduction.
This is to be passed in TOMORROW in good copy form, without exception or excuse
