Paragraph Analysis
Let’s
Begin Writers have an obligation to open the readers’ eyes to
what is happening in the world. A creative text should
not only be created for the sole purpose of entertaining
its audience. Writers have a responsibility to ask
important questions to the readers such as: (1) What is
happening in the world we are living in? (2) What is
being done about it? and (3) What are you going to do
about it? Thus, when you write, write about the world
and not just about yourself.

12
Essential
Question
What makes an effective craft essay?
13
Writing a Craft Essay
Prewriting
● A writer generates
ideas.
● It comes before
actual writing.
● It is helpful in
getting the writer
started with writing.
14
Prewriting Activities
(Mind Map)
● a graphic organizer
● a topic or a theme you
want to write about in the
middle of a paper
● a topic or theme connected
by stems to different ideas
15
Prewriting Activities (Scrapbooking)

● includes news articles,
pictures, research
materials, book clippings,
or other essays
● gives ample information
about the topic
● helps in giving the writer a
perspective or stance
16
Prewriting Activities (Journalist’s Questions)
● What do you want to

write about?
● Who are the people
involved in the topic?
● Where is the topic
specifically situated?
17
Prewriting Activities (Journalist’s Questions)
● When is the topic more

relevant?
● Why is it important for
writers to write about
it?
● How can writing about
the topic allow readers
to be more aware of it?
18
Prewriting Activities (Outlining)
● determine both broad

and specific ideas
● thesis statement,
supporting ideas,
conclusion
● evidence to support
your point
19
Actual Writing
● writing the craft essay

● structure:
introduction, body,
and conclusion
20
Introduction
● appealing opening
statement
● a thesis statement
● similar to the base of a
cake
21
Body
● supporting paragraphs
● like the crumb coating
of a cake
22
Conclusion
● restatement of the thesis
statement
● concluding statement
● like the frosting and
decorations of a cake
23
Writing
Tip Be cautious when writing the conclusion.
Remember that its purpose is to wrap up the
craft essay. Thus, make sure that you will not
open another argument in writing this part of
your work.
24
Post-Writing
● revisiting
● evaluating
● revising
● publishing
25
Check Your
Progress
Why is it important to follow a particular

process when writing a craft essay?
26
Sample Craft Essay
The Poem Is the Real: The Poetics
Gémino H. Abad
● people are connected
● the poem as an expression of the
writer’s experiences
● a writer writes, a reader reads
● reader connects with the text
Scan or click this!
● reader connects with the writer
27
Evaluating a Craft Essay
Self-Evaluation
● assesses his or her work

● strengths and limitations
of the work
● can use a set of criteria or
a rubric
28
Peer Evaluation
● another person assesses

the work
● strengths and limitations
of the work
● can use a set of criteria or
a rubric
29
Feedback
● identifying what is
excellently done in the
work
● determining what should
be improved
30
Revision
● making changes or
improvement in the work
○ inconsistent details and
voice
○ incorrect grammar and
mechanics
○ unnecessary or
unimportant details
31
Writing
Although the writer can change details in his or
Tip her craft essay based on the feedback given
during evaluation, it is still the prerogative of
the writer whether he or she will follow the
comments given by the evaluator. After all, the
work is still the writer’s own craft essay and
evaluators are not infallible.
32
True or False. Write true if the statement is correct.
Try This! Otherwise, write false.
1. Creating a mind map is a prewriting

activity that allows the writer to
brainstorm ideas in an organized manner.
True False
33
2. In writing the conclusion of your craft

essay, a writer can introduce another thesis
statement so that readers can have a
springboard they can use for their own
writing.
True False
34
3. If a writer is confident enough that his or

her craft essay is exceptionally written, he
or she can skip post-writing activities since
they are only for those whose writings need
improvement.
True False
35
4. When doing self-evaluation and peer

evaluation, a writer should use a set of
criteria or a rubric to determine the
strengths and limitations of a craft essay.
True False
36
5. In the era of computers and the internet, it

is now easier for writers to publish their own
work without submitting it to a publisher or
a publishing house.
True False
37
Wrap-
Up ● Writing a craft essay involves three steps:
prewriting, the actual writing, and post-writing.
● Evaluating a craft essay involves four steps: self-

evaluation, peer evaluation, feedback, and
revision.
38
Challenge
Yourself Develop the writing prompt below in a three- to
five-paragraph craft essay.
How can writers educate the readers about

what is happening in the world through his or
her creative output?
