TRANSCRIPT
Step-by-step guide for choosing and using a template.
Log in to your EssayJack account on Blackboard. Once you’ve logged in, click “Create New Essay Draft”:
For this practice activity, choose the template called “Why is communication important?” from the drop-down menu.
Fill in the rest of the information: give your essay a title and fill in the course name.
When you’re finished, click “Create Essay Draft”
To begin your essay, simply respond to the prompts and type in the available boxes on your screen.

Citation placeholders can be built in as you go. Keep in mind these aren’t formatted as APA, so you will have to make sure your formatting is correct once you export your document to Word.
Need some feedback on your thesis before you move on to the rest of the essay? No problem! Just click “email thesis” and you can email your thesis directly to me for immediate review.
At any point during the writing process, you can preview your draft.
To share your entire draft with me for feedback, click “Share.”
To share your draft with the class for peer feedback, click “Share with Group.”
When you are writing an essay assignment this term, you will be expected to download the text as a docx file, and format the document according to APA (including citations and a References/Works Cited page).
Under the options drop-down menu, when you click “Share,” this box appears. Simply enter my email address – [email protected] -- and click “Share”; your entire draft will be sent to me for review.
I will read your draft, provide feedback, and send it back to you within EssayJack so you can revise and finish up your essay. Easy!
You can save your draft, and whenever you log in again, it will be on your dashboard. You can continue editing it, or you can click “Options” to download, share, or delete it.
Any questions about how to compose essays, submit drafts for feedback, or download files into Word? Email me or post in the Facebook group!
