What is Process Essays (Examples)?

A process essay is fundamentally different from other types of academic writing assignments. In fact, it is closer to technical writing than to other types of academic writing. That is because a process essay describes a process that leads to a specific outcome. There are two approaches to the process essay. The first approach is often referred to as a directional process essay and is the simpler of the two approaches; it describes the steps necessary to complete a task. The second approach to the process essay does more than outline steps, it also analyzes or explains the steps involved in the process. The wording of your assignment will be important when you are trying to determine which approach to take while writing your process essay.

The introduction of your process essay needs to accomplish several things. First, it needs to introduce the process you are going to describe, and give background information about that process, when such information is necessary. Next, it needs to identify your audience. Identifying your audience does not require actually saying the targeted audience for your essay, but, if your reader needs a certain educational, technical, or professional background to understand the essay, then the introduction provides a great opportunity for you to provide that material.

The body of the essay involves your actual descriptions of the process. For simple directional process essays, the body of the essay involves a step-by-step description of each part of the process. For analytical process essays, in addition to outlining the steps you might explain them to the reader or analyze whether the steps are necessary to the process and make the process more efficient, or should be eliminated or changed in order to maximize efficiency and performance.

Finally, the conclusion of your essay will reiterate what you hope to achieve with the process described in the essay. If you have analyzed the process and found it lacking, the conclusion may also describe suggestions for further study or review.

Women's education and literary expression in Gilman, Woolf, and Stein

This essay considers Gilman's The Yellow Wallpaper, Woolf's A Room of One's Own, and Stein's "Composition as Explanation" in conjunction in order to reveal the means by which patriarchy perpetuates itself. In particular, these three texts demonstrate how control over education and writing allows patriarchy to reinforce stereotypes about gender that have no bearing to reality. Ultimately, denying access to education and writing can be seen as the underlying basis for all other forms of gender discrimination, because this is the means by which all other culture is produced and controlled.

Play's role in early childhood literacy development and learning

Play has been pushed out of the curriculum by a range of factors, including larger class sizes and a focus on standardization of testing and curricula that have reached all the way down to the youngest students. Play has also been marginalized by elementary teachers who in the last generation began substituting words like ‘explore' or ‘discover' for play. This substitution has been made in an attempt to make literacy and math activities more exciting for students. The traditional classrooms, with their spacious rooms, unlimited time for unstructured art, music, dance, and freedom to take time to practice and improve social skills, have all disappeared. The focus now is on math and literacy instruction.

Sex offender registration and workplace hiring discrimination

It is a major issue to notify citizens of a neighborhood if and where sex offenders may be living, especially because there is a large public fear that sex offenders may and will commit another crime after their release. This fear is not entirely unfounded, as "a 2003 Bureau of Justice Statistics study showed 43 percent of convicted sex offenders were arrested for a serious crime within three years of their initial release" (Albrecht 2011 p 1). However, this registration can cause the previous sex offender to face the plight of major discrimination.
