Writing Process Animation

Maybe some of you have seen this video, but more likely it's new to you. The author, Jon, breaks down the writing process in painstaking detail. I think he's from Canada b/c of his pronunciation. 

After we watch the video and have a brief discussion about it, each of you will write a single paragraph that establishes what you find to be the most important information. You'll have about 15-20 minutes to write this paragraph. Your paragraph needs to have between five and seven sentences (not more, not less). 

Draft your paragraph in your new notebook and start each new sentence on a new line. Feel free to cross things out. After you finish your draft, take it to a computer and print out a single copy (single-spaced is preferred).

When we critique your paragraph in class, you will note the things that would improve your paragraph on your copy. Please note: We are not talking solely about correctness and grammar; we are also talking about the logic and flow of your ideas.
