Here is what I have learned from this particular SLO. Writing as a process is the most important aspect of creating a meaningful piece of work. According to the “UNM Core Writing OER Textbook”, there are multiple steps included in the writing process and each step falls into a broad category. The main steps associated with the writing process include, prewriting, drafting, revisions, editing, and proof reading. These steps all have a specific purpose which will create a strong piece of composition when completed.  

I used this writing process when I was creating my literary analysis essay for MWA 2. I recall prewriting being done through a short writing assignment where I placed all the topics and thoughts I wanted to cover into a short piece of writing. The next step was to draft these stops into a profound and larger scale essay. When revising and editing, it is important to read the essay through and add annotations to different parts of the essay. Some annotation I looked out for were, punctuation, grammar, and areas that lacked expansion. The last step I completed was a proofread where I had myself and a peer read my essay to make sure there are no last touches needed. The last step that is helpful but not completely necessary is a peer review. My peer review was completed in class and was beneficial to my essay. I had someone read my essay and add additional thoughts and comments to make sure all literary analysis aspects were covered. Overall, the writing process may seem long, but I found every step crucial to a strong essay.
