For the first semester, there have been many essays that were written. This required the use of the essay drafting technique. An example of this would be the “This I Believe” Essay, where we wrote about our beliefs. The drafting technique was useful because it helped to improve my writing for this prompt. It allowed my thoughts to be explained well, which gets the connection across to the reader. In sum, the essay drafting technique has been useful and will most likely be useful to other essays in the future.
