Classwork for 12/16

You have 15 minutes to revise your paragraphs. You should work on correcting punctuation and sentence structure, adding parallel structure, verbals, and imagery. These revisions should be made regardless of your original grade. The more effort you put into your revision, the higher your grade will be. This is not just about adding commas. This is about writing and how we can always improve upon what we have written.

When you are finished revising, please print your revisions and give your paper to me.

If you are finished before the time is up, please take out your book and read. Remember, the reading up to page 227 is due on Friday.

There is a second assignment that we will be working on for the remainder of the period. You MUST finish your revisions in fifteen minutes.

Do not close the file for your paragraph.

Review page 144 "Dut followed the chief..." to page 147 "...nothing to say." of What is the What. Find an example of each of the following:

• use of a colon
• use of a semi-colon
• sentence fragment
• parallel structure
• use of a verbal

In a Word document, type what the category, the quote, and the page number of the example. Be sure your work is in MLA format. Save your work. Then save a copy to the public drive in your class period folder which is in the Baione-Doda folder.

PARAGRAPH REVISIONS:

Open the file of the paragraph you wrote last week. Go to "Tools" and turn on Track Changes. Begin revising your work to add imagery. Then, edit your work for spelling, grammar, and punctuation. Try to add parallel structure and minimize your use of sentence fragments to make them more effective.

Print your revised work at the end of the period and give it to me.

Use this to help you with both of these assignments:
