    September 7

    Did you know that understanding the prompt is one of the most important parts of writing an essay? Your instructor gives you a specific question, context, and guidelines, so you can think of understanding the prompt kind of like using GPS. It tells you where to go. Learn how to make sure you are on the right track before you begin the writing process.
