In Tiffany's blog from November 15th, she explains herself and the tools very well. She introduces each of the four tools that helped her the most in the second paragraph of her blog, then following her second paragraph she goes further into detail about each of the tools, explaining how and why they are so important in the writing process. She explains that without them, the writing would have some confusion to the reader and so on. Tiffany did wonderful!

In Betina's blog entry from November 6th, I feel as though she did a good job explaining the basics. However, she should have went into futher detail about what an Introduction is made of, more of an explination of the Thesis Statement and it's purpose to the writing process, as well as a more in depth explination of what a Conclusion is and what's included within it. Overall, the basic information was good, but the explinations need to be more drawn out. They need to be explained more.

In my opinion, the most helpful elements in writing would be the rhetorical tools. Classification & division being one of the helpful rhetorical tools, helps by dividing the writing into certain subjects and going more into detail about each of those subjects in order to make the writing more comprehensible for the readers. Transitions make the writing easier to read and understand as well, by helping to move from one topic to the next, rather than to jump from one to another. By keeping each topic in chronological order, it can be easier to understand as well. Simply because the reader can follow the writing in a much easier way.

Before publishing anything and making it official, it is important to make a rough draft of what you're about to publish. Meaning that after brainstorming ideas, reasearching whatever is needed, and thinking of your opinion is towards what you're writing about, you can begin to piece all of it together. After piecing it together and forming what you think is a good essay, it is important to get another pair of eyes on it which is known as peer review. Peer review helps to get an outsiders view on what you're writing about, this way you know if you have all of the information that is needed to make your writing clear to the audience. However, whether it is you who is doing the peer review or you're getting your paper peer reviewed, it is important to not be too harsh. Let them know where they messed up, how you think they can improve it, and what you believe they've done right. Don't take things to the heart, a peer review is used to HELP you and your writing, not harm in any way, shape, or form.

Process Explination is the way in which you present things to a certain audience. Explaining or teaching them so that they are capable of understanding what it is and when/where it may be used.
And in order to teach an audience something, there are steps in which you must follow.
First, you must start out with an introductionn of what you are going to be talking about. In this introduction, you must introduce the main topic, just giving enough information on it to capture the audiences attention. Also, a thesis statement is needed that expresses the authors opinion on the main topic being discussed, so that the audience knows where the essay/article is headed. It must also include a roadmap of what's going to be discussed. In choronical order of course.
From there, you have the body of the writing. Here is listed all of the information as well as examples making it easier for the reader to understand. Headers may also be used to divide the different subjects, which is called Classification and Division. Keep in mind, you already have the order of what these topics should be discussed, from the intorudction.
Finally, you have the conclusion. The conclusion is grabbing the most important/strong ideas of each subject in the body and summarizing them in the order talked about from the introduction. Here, you will also restate your thesis statement.
