"Summer Time" Introduction

For my effective writing piece I chose my process essay. My process essay was demonstrating how to prep a swimming pool getting ready for summer time. This essay was written toward the end of the quarter so I had good practice before it. The reason I chose this to demonstrate effective writing is because I used strong detail to describe the condition of the pool and what it takes to restore it. Given that it was a process essay I provided understandable steps and transitions into the process of cleaning the pool. An example of the strong detail used to describe the condition of the pool is, “That means now everyone can see our half filled, green pool with an occasional frog in it. My pool looked like a swamp. Branches, leaves and burnt out fireworks from past parties from next door litter the water.” An example of the transitions used is, “Next, when it’s up to your standards, it’s highly recommended to add chlorine powder to the water, making sure no living thing can survive such as frogs, bugs, mosquitoes.
