​Example of mind map for Process Essay (PE)

​Source: your AWS seniors'

FOUR (4) articles/sources

will be provided for you to cite in your essay.

​

​

Please watch the video lessons to better understand how to write BODY PARAGRAPHS for PROCESS ESSAY (PE)

& REAL-TIME Assessment/paragraph writing (RTA).

But first....

Why burger?​

Multiple Choice

Based on the video lesson, you SHOULD NEVER write/include ANY in-text citations in Main Points A & B.

Therefore, Main Points should be written as a statement only.

• TRUE

• FALSE

​Remember!

​Main Points should be written as a statement only with NO CITATION (at all!).

​

​For RTA & PE:

Citations are ONLY used in Supporting Details (SDs) to elaborate more on the Main Point.

​

​For OPOWER: no citations

Main Point (A & B) introduces/highlights the ideas or points that you want to explain.

​

​

Supporting Details (SDs) always support Main Point statement by providing evidence using in-text citation form (paraphrase/summary).

Multiple Choice

Based on the video lesson in your respective class session, you can cite a source for every SDs. But are we allowed to cite from ONE source only instead of more than one (ONE citation = ONE SD/subpoint?

• YES

• NO

Yes, you can ALSO use just ONE source instead of more than one source/evidence as in-text citation in supporting a Main Point.

You could see that in Main Point B, the writer uses SAME source and three types of in-text citation techniques in paraphrasing.

Therefore, it does not mean that restrictedly, you need to cite for every Supporting Details (SDs) or sub-points​

(more than one citations = two sources).

​

​You can still use ONE citation for both or more SDs as shown in the previous slide.

​So how does it look like if you cite ONE (1) source= for each ONE (1) Supporting Details (SDs)/sub point (more than 1 citation/source)?

​

​Here, SD/Subpoint 1. is using one citation from Sripriya (newspaper article).

​

​

​And the next SD/subpoint i. is using an external source from Salmi (research article).

​

​Thus, this is an example of TWO citations = ONE (1) source for each ONE (1) Supporting Details (SDs)/sub point

TWO citations = ONE (1) DIFFERENT source each

THREE citations = ONE (1) or SAME source

Writing process will continue in your

Telegram sub group.
