The Writing ProcessWriting

• Everybody enjoys reading something. It can be a fictional book, an informational book, a particular magazine or even something on the internet (my daughter keeps up with all of the Avenger news and upcoming movies this way). So, what do you like to read and why do you like that particular type of material.

• Write a good body paragraph (that is, one with a strong topic sentence, several supporting sentences, and a strong clincher sentence to wrap it up) about what you like to read.
